It is the player your using I would bet. If you have a media player that connects to the internet to verify the audio file.
downloading streamed files from napster may carry DRM now, like other tools such as iTunes WMP all require a regestered certificate to identify you if you don't have one then it won't play.
Often times these files will only play on the designated player for Napster as is the case here.
Did it ask you for a certificate?

what media player are you using?
