I downloaded music from the internet and it downloaded as an mp4 file. I tried to play it and get a message "Windows cannot open this file. Windows needs to know what program created it." I'm clueless. I am not computer literate enough to solve this problem. My computer will play mp3 or wma or wav. Is there a way I can convert this mp4 to one of those types of files?

Try downloading Quicktime and see if it plays for you with that player.

Glad it did but I should have suggested my favorite stand by as I think it might work as well and has a much smaller footprint (sorry I'm late)
