I haven't (not using Windows), apart from a brief attempt with WMP which
"cannot open".  I want to be able to point the ENTEMP person at a link she
can simply click on in IE, otherwise they may not bother...

The Win2k machine I have access to at work doesn't recognise any of the
formats as 'registered' apart from the mpeg video.  

I can't even get to http://www.speex.org through our proxy to look for
players...
