Windows Media Player problem.

Hi guys.

Converted some cd's to mp3 format and copied them onto my storage card.
For some reason the installed Windows Media Player doesn't seem to want to play them........any idea why??
I thought as long as it was mp3, it would play.

Not quite. WMP 1.2 is a bit picky about bitrates. TCPMP isn't nearly as picky. If you want to play it in WMP, you may have to use a converter like DVD Catalyst to adjust the bitrate to something that WMP can handle.

Hmmmm.......okay.

I have already set up TCPMP and it plays my vids okay, albeit with a slight blur but watchable, so I'll try playing the mp3's on that.
If I still get get problems I'll convert using DVD catalyst as I have that also.
What bitrate would be best for the installed WMP??

Gaz.

gmplayer and winamp are really cool for mp3

DVD Catalyst will give you the correct bitrate setting automatically when you choose the H/PC settings. (It'll set it to 64 Kbps, though 128 may work as well. Generally WMP can handle 32, 64, 96, or 128 Kbps.)

Patrick brings up another point: there are several alternative MP3 players for H/PC 2000. GSPlayer and WinamPAQ also have H/PC 2000 versions, and both are free as well.

This is what I do. Copy music from CD in WM player , go to Music folder and copy them to compact flash card, usb or other media.

That is it.

S/F,
CEYA!

Thanks guys.

Had a tinker last night and TCPMP played them all fine.

I just need to suss out how to create to playlists but it seems to work great.
