depends on what operating system you have, more than likely it is PPC2002
which, I believe can be upgraded to media player 8.5. version 9 is only
available as part of WM2003 which you would need to purchase from HP.

Windows media player will only play windows media files (.wma .wmv) and
mp3's you might want to look at pocketMVP, Betaplayer, and PocketTV, all
three offer free versions and will play a wide variety of formats.
