People can't listen on Windows Media Player...

I have tested my server and all, I am using SAM3 to broadcast on it, and people can listen to my stream on VLC Media Player, but on Windows Media Player it gives an error:

"Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The Player might not support the file type or might not support the codec that was used to compress the file."

Is there a way to get this to work on WMP, becuase I have an embedded WMP on my site so people can listen to it, but I can't seem to figure out how to fix this so people can listen in WMP/Website.

Also, WMP doesn't support AAC Plus streams.

You need tha aac+ codec from http://www.orban.com/plugin if you are trying to use aac+. If you are using some other codec, then you'll have to find that one and install it.

Your mileage may vary!
