The message is either UUencoded or MIME.  You'll need to find out which 
method they're using so you can decode.

If you really would like to participate in those usenet groups, I 
suggest you download a copy of Forte Agent.  Agent is the best 
newsreader that you can use and it includes software to encode/decode 
most news messages.  You can also use Outlook Express but you will need 
additional software to decode/encode the messages or attachments.

DG>Do you know how to deal with this stuff?

Here's the URL for Agent: http://www.forteinc.com/agent/download.php

Also do a Google search for free software that does UUencode and MIME.

Once you are able to "decode" the file back to a normal format it will 
play as an ordinary MP3 file by using the Windows Media Player or 
another player like WinAmp.

The reason those MP3 files are encoded in the first place rather than 
attached as a binary file is probably because they're copyrighted.

Have fun but be careful.

Regards.
