Microsoft tells you to use winamp...!
This is from a MS' FAQ:
"3.16 Why can't I play an MP3 file? If you receive a message that contains error codes 0xC00D0BB8 or 0xC00D1199 when trying to play an .mp3 file, the problem might be because the file has a compressed or unsynchronized ID3 header that Windows Media Player does not support for security reasons. For unsynchronized ID3 headers, see article 814129, "Error in Windows Media Player 9 Series When You Play Specific MP3 Files," in the Microsoft Knowledge Base. For compressed headers or other ID3v2 data, you can use a tag editing program to remove the information. For example, you can use the Advanced WMA Workshop, available from the LitexMedia Web site. Or, you can use Winamp 2.x, available from the Winamp Web site. To use Winamp 2.x, do the following: Open the file in Winamp. In the Playlist window, right-click the file, and then click File Info. Clear the ID3v1 tag and ID3v2 tag check boxes. Click Update." http://www.microsoft.com/windows/win.../faq.aspx#3_16 LOL! |

"Use the other guy's stuff to fix it so it will play in ours". Yoikes. Would it have spoiled your story, made it less 'funny'? Actually, it makes it even more funny that MS tells someone to use a competing utility to fix something so their own utility will make it possible to play the file. The whole thing is a laugh riot. Thanks, MS. |

: Ok whats next from MS? If windows crashes, boot with knoppix (linux), fix it and then you can use windows again? There are lots of file formats Microsoft products don't support. RealPlayer and Quicktime come to mind. You'll enjoy this Microsoft site that mentions 1000's of non-Microsoft products that they endorse. http://www.windowsmarketplace.com/ "Mike Hall (MS-MVP)" wrote in message ...

Thanks, MS. I found it sooooo funny the other day when I went to a store to purchase a product and they told me that they didn't have it in stock. The salesperson suggested that I go over to a competitor's store and purchase the product from them. I remember that while I was laughing my head off I kept thinking the next time I need something I'll come back to this same store again after all they tried to help me in spite of not being able to immediately fix my problem themselves. -- Harry Ohrn MS-MVP [Shell/User] www.webtree.ca/windowsxp |

Of course that was the best thing they could do. They helped a customer and
showed they really cared about him even if they did not have something to gain from it. Good for them, and good for you to go back to them. "Harry Ohrn" wrote in message ...

And then what's your choice? go to their competitor's to enjoy uncertain
service? Additionally, funny debate. "Kenny S" . .. Of course that was the best thing they could do.
