Windows Forum / Windows XP / Music / July 2007converting music files to mp3
I have Windows XP (service pack 1). I am trying to convert wav or wma files which I have on my hard drive - copied from purchased CD's - to MP3 format using Windows Media Player 10. I right click on the wma file and click on "convert media format". The Plus Audio Converter comes up. I verify data, click NEXT, and press the "Start Conversion" button. Then I get a message that says "0 of 1 file converted" and the status says Failed. When I press the "Details" Button, it says "The file cannot be converted because it uses an unrecognized codec." What can I do to make this work? Thanks shirley Before anything, suggest you upgrade your PC to XP SP2. Order Windows XP Service Pack 2 on CD (it is FREE). http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/updates/sp2/cdorder/en_us/default.mspx What to Know Before You Install Windows XP Service Pack 2 http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/sp2/sp2_whattoknow.mspx AumHa Forums (cleanup after SP2 install) http://forum.aumha.org/viewtopic.php?t=7265&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&hig hlight  SignatureXP - WNP Today is the first day of the rest of your life. > I have Windows XP (service pack 1).
