Playing _from_ mp3 player?

Hello,

I have a Sansa Clip which I have loaded with .wma files from my home
computer by sync'ing with WMP 11 at home. I have a USB cable at work
with which I can connect the player to my work computer. Is there a
way to get WMP 11 to play these files directly from the player on my
computer at work without copying them to my hard disk using Explorer?
This seems like it should be a simple thing to do, yet it does not
appear immediately obvious how to do so. All help greatly
appreciated...thanks.

I found one way that works, mostly. I can navigate to the music files on
my SONY NWZ-A818 in explorer, then I can double click the mp3 file and
it will play.

The "mostly" was because something copies the file from the player to a
temporary file on my PC before playing it from there.

Alternatively there may be software that came with the player (or from
their website) which can play the tracks directly.

Thank you Steve. It seems that's probably the best option since there
is no software specific to the player itself.
