Zach was right, I typo'd my way through that : Should be
video/x-ms-wmv for .wmv, and audio/x-ms-wma for .wma, or
video/x-ms-asf (for either wma or wmv in .asf file type)
For MP3 you should definitely send audio/mpeg header though ;-)
See here for further details if you do use WM MIME types :

I'm loosely the manager of MIME types for the team - as a minor note, I
don't believe there is a application/x-ms-wmv MIME type. video/x-ms-wmv may
be what you meant... ?
As regards the OP, Content-Disposition is meant to get the content to
download 100% first. As far as I'm aware, WinAMP and iTunes are doing the
wrong thing here...

You should be sending a header of application/x-ms-wmv there, I'm not
sure what all this force download and attachment stuff is ~intended~
to do, but it seems to be having the effect of doing exactly what
you've told it !
Just send the correct content-type header, then send the
content-length, then the binary stream data.

I'm trying to develop a playlist in Windows Media Player where the audio
is
fed through PHP for security reasons. It works fine in Winamp and iTunes,
but
Windows Media can't play the file.
We're trying this header with PHP:
header("Pragma: public");
header("Expires: 0");
header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0,
pre-check=0");
header("Cache-Control: private",false);
header("Content-type: application/force-download");
header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: Binary' ); // added
header("Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename=\"".basename($FILE)."\";" );
readfile ( $URL );
And so far we get it where it DOWNLOADS the file 100% and then starts
playing. Is there anyway to have it start playing while its downloading,
like
iTunes and Winamp does?
Thanks for any help!
