Some arsehole has posted eight binaries totalling 2.5Mbytes into a nice
text-only newsgroup I take (alt.books.beatgeneration).

Even more irritating is that they are .mp3 sound files and I can't find
anything on my Mac that will read them. These are MPEG2.5 format (11,020Hz,
16K/bps). When I try one on Movieplayer (with QT 2.5 and the QT MPEG
extension) it won't play. Not good. Sparkle doesn't want to play (but
that's no surprise). Same for SoundApp which, to my knowledge, doesn't
claim any ability with MPEGs.

Any suggestions?
