MP3 ripping in Windows Media player 8

[Woodman]

Posted already to an earlier query, but thought I'd share it as a new
post as well :

Getting MP3 ripping to work in Windows Media Player 8 in XP...

To do so :

Download & Install the radium codec from :
http://www.riphelp.com/downloads/radium_codec.html

Then enter the following in the registry :

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\Settings\MP3Encoding]
"LowRate"=dword:0000dac0
"MediumRate"=dword:0000fa00
"MediumHighRate"=dword:0001f400
"HighRate"=dword:0002ee00

This corresponds to 56, 64, 128 and 192 Kbps.

You can change this to your liking using the following dword hex
values :

320 Kbps = dword:0004e200
256 Kbps = dword:0003e800
224 Kbps = dword:00036b00
192 Kbps = dword:0002ee00
160 Kbps = dword:00027100
128 Kbps = dword:0001f400
112 Kbps = dword:0001b580
64 Kbps = dword:0000fa00
56 Kbps = dword:0000dac0

And you are all set ! Happy ripping !

Cheers,
Woodman.

(thanks Lucas for pointing me in the right direction...)

Oops forgot to tell you then will have the MP3 option in WMP8 under
Tools --> Options... --> Copy Music --> File Format
and you can choose a quality using the slider.

Hi,

I followed the instructions (Radium codec and reg file). However, when I
insert an Audio cd the "Save as" menu item in WMP8 is disabled. I can only
use the "copy file" option which creates a WMA file.

Did I miss anything in the process?

"Did you go to tools, options, cd copying and change format to MP3 there?
