WMP Problem =[

Faxy · 10-20-2006, 02:44 PM

Hello all,

Whenever i rip music from a CD onto my PC and then try to play the files in WMP, i get this error message:

"The file you are attempting to play has an extension that does not match the file format. Playing the file may result in unexpected behaviour."

"Do you want the player to try and play this file?"

"Yes"

"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."

- and as you can probably guess it doesn't play the music!

The files are in the format of "MP3 Format Sound", so i don't really see the problem.

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Many thanks,
Fax. :thumbup:

I have no clue but you might wanna try installing I-tunes or a similar player. Never had any problems with music from my cd's on that program.

Use a codec pack like the k-lite codec pack ;)

Audiograbber with LAME mp3 is much better
