    Tried Ripping CD music to MP3 in Windows Media Player 10

    It says you chose MPEG-3 layer, you need a 'mp3 encoder pack' ???

    They kindly offer a link to buy one of three MP3 Encoders.


    WHAT GIVES ?!!! :mad: I never had this problem.

    I prefer to RIP in WMP vs loading another MP3 encoder, but don't know what to do? I've spent an hour and a half reading about Registry Editing, and how WMP 10 can in fact Rip into MP3 format.

    What are you folks using ? Thanks !!

    Thanks radditz, I did try that and saw another post for WMP 11 in another area.

    I just updated to WMP 11 and they put the 'MP3' option back in (vs 'MPEG Layer 3') and it Ripped just fine!

    BTW - I like the look of WMP 11 better anyway.
