RE: SOME mp3 files don't play in Windows Media Player - others play fi

Hey usta,

I had the exact same problem and in my case it was caused by a corrupted
ac3filter.ax file. If you have ac3filter installed follow the instuctions
below to fix the problem if not then it is most likely due to a diffrent
codec which is corrupt.

-Uninstall ac3filter from Add/Remove
-In cmd unregister ax3filter.ax (regsvr32 /u ac3filter.ax)
-Reboot
-Delete ac3filter.ax from it's directory
-Download the latest ac3filter setup from ac3filter.net and install

All corrupt mp3 files should now work on WMP11

Other players play the ones WMP won't.

Seems to refer to error C00D1199.

This has to have been asked before, but I can't find an answer to it.
Google, the MS WMP site, MSKB, and even this board have broad references
(...little to nothing in terms of a single fix...), but none that I've found
productive.

All files have previously played fine in Windows Media Player - I think up
to at least version 10 running XP Pro.

I got a new machine with WMP 11 (build 11.0.5721.5145) and XP Media Center
Edition (v 5.1 with SP2).

Now many mp3 files error out in WMP (error is: 'Windows Media Player cannot
play the file. The Player might not support the file type or might not
support the codec that was used to compress the file.' Through WMP 'Web
Help', this is error C00D1199.). These files play fine in mp3 Bookhelper,
Creative Mediasource Player, and Irfanview.

Encoder type doesn't matter; some xings and Lames play, others don't.
All boxes in WMP File Types are checked (includes mp3).
Error occurs on SOME files but not others. All previously worked in WMP.
Size doesn't matter.
Disk and location on disk doesn't matter. The same files will play or won't
play off CD or hard drive.
I've not yet tried any videos.

Guesses, anyone?
