I think that mime.types is actually the "built in" part that Netscape aludes to in their FAQ. The mailcap file was the key missing component for me, and once I added it netscape did the right thing and did it rather well. It even asks me if I want to play the MPEG audio files directly or save them first to disk (to a temp file which it deletes) first. This makes it work well with both high-bandwidth and low-bandwidth links and you don't have to manage the temp files yourself for things you just want to listen to once and throw away. [If you do want to save it outright, you can always hold the shift key down as usual]. Jordan
