I'm trying to pull a video feed from one web site and one audio feed from
another web site and have both of them going at the same time (muting the
video to catch the audio). I can't seem to have two seperate WMP going at
the some time. When I click the link to either the audio or video feeds, WMP
switches between the two, so I get one or the other. I really need to see
both, so any advice would be appreciated.


Only one instance of media player 11 can be running at one time.

This is a change in behaviour after media player 6.4, but on XP and
earlier PCs, you can still bring up media player 6.4 to open the audio
separately from the video.

Just go to Start -> Run, and type in the box

mplayer2.exe

Press enter, then use File -> Open, and paste in the web address of
the audio stream.
