The follow audio formats can be played with Windows Media Player:

AIFF, AU, CD, MIDI, MP3, WAV, WMA

Plugins

Due to Microsoft's closed-source approach to Windows Media Player, plugins are rare, but a few have been made.

Downloads

You can download the latest version of Windows Media Player from Microsoft's official page, but they may force you to download DRM software first.
