Is WMP 10 a Windows player that you purchase?
It's available for download for XP machines at no cost. It's not
available for pre-XP operating systems, and it's not available for
Vista (the default WMP11 which can't be rolled back or repaired)
You can get WMP10 from this download page :
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/10/default.aspx
I ask because the one that MS
provides for free rips CD's to WAV or Windows Media Audio. You have to
purchase an add-in to have MP3 conversion capabilities. When I looked on the
The add-in was for WMP9 and earlier, WMP10 shipped with a bulit in MP3
encoder partly because of the number of problems with standalone ones
(it was a frequent user request). MS bit the bullet and paid for the
license for that encoding on behalf of the users.
MS web site for converters, I didn't see one that was made by MS. I'm
concerned about the add-in I did purchase because I think I detect some
distortion at some frequencies of the MP3 audio files.
You would have to run it through a waveform analyser to be sure though
