I'd still be inclined to leave the file associations alone, as changing them entails messing around with the Windows Registry. A better approach would be to extract the mp3s from the zip files, then play them. Either way, a fair bit of programming would be involved and, for the same reasons the files don't seem to be playing now, I'm not sure that would actually cause the mp3 files to play.
