So WMP10 or 11 should be able to "see" that content if WMC is running on the server, as a shared library. You should be able to just play it directly in WMP, from the shared library in that case (no download required) HTH Cheers - Neil ------------------------------------------------ Digital Media MVP : 2004-2008 http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/mvpfaqs
