Getting MP3 ripping to work in Windows Media Player 8 in XP

Getting MP3 ripping to work in Windows Media Player 8 in XP
Enter the following in the registry :

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftMediaPlayerSett ingsMP3Encoding]
"LowRate"=dword:0000dac0
"MediumRate"=dword:0000fa00
"MediumHighRate"=dword:0001f400
"HighRate"=dword:0002ee00

This corresponds to 56, 64, 128 and 192 Kbps.

You can change this to your liking using the following dword hex values :

320 Kbps = dword:0004e200
256 Kbps = dword:0003e800
224 Kbps = dword:00036b00
192 Kbps = dword:0002ee00
160 Kbps = dword:00027100
128 Kbps = dword:0001f400
112 Kbps = dword:0001b580
64 Kbps = dword:0000fa00
56 Kbps = dword:0000dac0

use at own risk

Thx alot !!


Yeah use it at ur own risk !!!

HMM Why not just use the mp3 codec plugin? It installs the Fraunhofer Pro Codec then all you have to do is chose the mp3 codec and bitrate in wmp settings and then as an extra bonus in audio codec proerties you can go to the Fraunhofer Pro Codec and chose from Stereo, Jonit Stereo or Joint Stereo IS/MS.
It encodes excellent and to too terribly slow either.

Why not use Exact Audio Copy & LAME..?

i'd love too see a reg hack for WMP9 as well. cos cpla guys complained the this reg hack and the automated reg hack (MP3 Plugin) found in bink.nu for MPXP didn't work for WMP9
