    Yes, there are more "universal" programs that can play them. These 
have file extension .m4a which I don't know what they are offhand, 
except they're surely some lossy psychoacoustically compressed audio 
("mp3 style") files. I have this program on my Windows computer that 
plays them - it also has versions for Mac, Linux and others. It plays 
many audio and video file formats that Windows Media Player doesn't (at 
least without adding codec plugins, but it's easier just to run VLC and 
be done with it):
