Why won't Windows Media Player play my MP3s?

download codec for it which support MP3s. Its all about codec because it is the thing responsible for playing different music/video formats in your players. try downloading the latest windows media player from the windows website. or you can download VLC Media player, its the BEST of all players, can support almost all format.

Good luck!

EDIT: The best program for burning cd is Nero 7, you can use it yo burn MP3 CD or Audio CD.

for Windows Media Player, try to check this website from microsoft

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/play...

update your Windows Media Player and/or try to find new codec from it so it would play all your mp3s

When the built-in media player doesn't work, use VLC.

You can get it for free here: http://bitly.com/1lqhbTS

It's my favourite media player and I highly recommend it over any other audio/video player.

VLC (video lan connect) is a great open source software to play any types of video files. VLC has a built in dvd decodere and works with many different video and audio formats including OGG, MP2, MP3, MP4, DivX, HD codecs like AES3, Raw Dirac.

My little cousin was on my computer one day, and apparently she somehow downloaded QuickTime onto my computer without even knowing it. Everytime I tried to listen to mp3's or watch mpg's, the Quicktime player kept popping up instead of Windows Media Player. So all I did was go to Control Panel, then I uninstalled the Quicktime program from my computer. But if you want to keep Quicktime instead of uninstalling it, then I believe you can open up your Windows Media Player and set it as your default player.

Happens to me all the time, usually the file was corrupted in download. I have another media player, came with some nano thing I bought. It has an option to convert files....if that media player will play the file, then I can usually use that program to convert it to something other than mp3 then back to mp3 & then Windows will play.

Try downloading a different media player....I haven't burnt a CD in a very long time...CD player broke & just bought better speakers for the computer...but I don't think I ever used windows to burn them...I think I used Roxio...I'll check when I get home....maybe get back to you on this.

Hey,

This is a link where you can downlod for free VLC http://bitly.com/1lqhfD8

It's a very good program and easy to use.

Have a nice day

Check out VLC. I find that it plays everything I have.

Edit: Got it. I use Nero. They do offer a free version. I have posted the URL below. BTW DVD Shrink works very well with Nero. Good luck.

if you are not used to iPod then get memory stick and just copy mp3 into it. This days most of people do this way. CD's are old fashion now

I can't answer your question but your beloved's suggestion has merit.

I listen to myIPod in the car and it works very well. I transferred all of my CD's to my IPad as well.

Good luck with this.

download itunes, its the best mp3 player for me.

windows media player is ****, can't play anything if you have vista and xp I mean why the heck windows feature windows media player if it can't play a goddam thing..pisses me off.

well computers sometimes act weird with no reason at all so try a different codec...K-LITE for example...http://filehippo.com/download_klite_codec_pack/

see if that solves it...or you could use any other software for the above purpose.... cd burner xp for burning http://filehippo.com/download_cdburnerxp/

and vlc player http://filehippo.com/download_vlc/ for audio
