98MP10 improvements:
- fixed most WMP9 security bugs
- better audio + video hardware rendering
- professional MP3 codec + variable bit rate encoding
- better/faster streaming over networks/internet
- updated DRM support [see "HOW TO REMOVE DRM" chapter further below]
- minor interface changes.
EXTREMELY IMPORTANT
Requires:
- DirectX 9.0c:
http://www.mdgx.com/dx.htm#DX9
- MS IE 6.0 SP1:
http://www.mdgx.com/toy.htm#IEX
- WMP9:
http://www.mdgx.com/wmp.htm#WMP9
already installed!
STRONGLY recommended:
- WMP10 Codecs + DRM for WMP9:
http://www.mdgx.com/wmp.htm#DRM10
- MS IE 6.0 SP1 (hot)fixes/patches/updates:
http://www.mdgx.com/ietoy.htm#BRO
- WMP9 (hot)fixes/patches/updates:
http://www.mdgx.com/wmp.htm#WMP
MS IE 6.0 SP2/IE 7.0 XP + WMP10/WMP11 XP (hot)fixes/patches/updates will NOT
work!
98MP10 adds newer WMP10 XP + WMP9 XP SP2 functionality to Windows 98 SE/ME
even if you do NOT see 10.x.x.xxxx build whenever you run WMPLAYER.EXE or
MPLAYER2.EXE in the Help -> About Windows Media Player dialog box.
All these files have been tested to work properly.
ANY files other than these do NOT work properly in my experience.
UNINSTALL 98MP10
98MP10.EXE BACKS UP ALL original files BEFORE replacing them:
- %windir%\SYSTEM [usually C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM] = renamed to *.MP9
- C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player [default] = renamed to *.MP9
How to restore original files:
Start button -> Settings -> Control Panel -> Add/Remove Programs -> select
"98MP10: Restore Original WMP9 Files" -> click Add/Remove button -> reboot.
You can delete these backups later on, but ONLY after making sure the newer
files work properly on your computer.
Run these 2 commands from a DOS box/session/window [change WMP drive letter
and/or directory name from 2nd line below if different on your computer]:
DEL %windir%\SYSTEM\*.MP9
DEL "C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player\*.MP9"

WMP10 XP Professional MP3 Codec L3CODECP.ACM Variable Bit Rates settings are
also installed into your registry = see "WMP10 XP MP3 CODEC" chapter:
WMP10 XP MP3 CODEC
Unofficial Windows 98/ME/2000/XP/2003 Media Player 10.0 (WMP10) XP:
http://www.mdgx.com/wmp.htm#WMP10
Fraunhofer MP3 Professional Codec L3CODECP.ACM 3.3.2.44 for Windows Media
Player 7.0 (WMP70), 7.1 (WMP71) + 9.0 (WMP9):
http://www.mdgx.com/wmp.htm#L3C
Direct download [150 KB, English]:
http://www.mdgx.com/files/L3C.EXE
More info:
http://www.msmvps.com/blogs/chrisl/archive/2004/09/04/12994.aspx
Tested only with Windows 98 SE (Second Edition), Windows XP SP2 + WMP9.
NOT tested, but should work also with:
- Windows 98 FE (First Edition), 98 SP1, ME, 2000, XP + 2003.
- WMP70 + WMP71.
REQUIRES WMP9:
http://www.mdgx.com/wmp.htm#WMP9
OR at least WMP71:
http://www.mdgx.com/wmp.htm#MP7
already installed!
WMP should NOT download automatically an inferior (older) version even if
the
"Download codecs automatically" setting is enabled.
Following L3CODECP.ACM MP3 variable bit rates are set up for encoding and
can
be selected from the 4 "Audio quality" settings in WMP9 [WMP10 apparently
doesn't do 160 kBps :(]:
64 kBps @ 22.050 Hz = Low Rate
128 kBps @ 44.100 Hz = Medium Rate
160 kBps @ 44.100 Hz = Medium High Rate
192 kBps @ 44.100 Hz = High Rate
All encoding is "joint stereo" by default, and canNOT be changed.
How to add more MP3 encoding rates into the registry [may or may not work]:
http://www.mdgx.com/xp1.htm#WME
Album title, song name, artist etc can be downloaded and added to ID3 tags
automatically.
Files will be named inline with the downloaded info and your selection of
settings in WMP9 -> Tools -> Options -> Copy Music -> Copy music to this
location -> "File Name".
MP3s will be placed in folders named by album in "My Music" inside "My
Documents" folder by default.
However you can change this in WMP9 -> Tools -> Options -> Copy Music ->
Copy
music to this location -> "Change".
Digital Audio Extraction (DAE) can be enabled as follows:
1. Your CD/DVD drive(s) and sound card should be properly connected.
2. In Control Panel -> Multimedia Properties -> CD Music tab -> select the
correct CD/DVD from the drop down list -> check the "Enable digital CD audio
for this CD-ROM device" box.
3. In WMP9 -> Tools -> Options -> Devices -> select your CD/DVD -> click
Properties button -> fine tune your CD/DVD playback + copying.
For DAE you should probably select "Digital" and "Use error correction".
This codec should be picked up by any DirectShow/NetShow aware program/game
that uses codecs/filters to encode/decode/play/record audio/video, unless
another similar codec is installed by such programs/games [free(ware)

HOW TO REMOVE WMP
Windows Media Player 9.0 (WMP9) can be completely uninstalled:
http://erpman1.tripod.com/current/wmp9del.htm
In case WMP was NOT properly/completely removed after installing 98MP10:
1. Restore original WMP *.MP9 files backed up by 98MP10:
see "UNINSTALL 98MP10" chapter further above.
2. Run this command to re-register original WMP DLLs + OCXs [substitute
%windir% with your actual Windows path = usually C:\WINDOWS]:
%windir%\INF\UNREGMP2 /RegUniv /UpdateWMP
3. Uninstall WMP:
Start button -> Settings -> Control Panel -> Add/Remove Programs -> select
"Windows Media Player" -> click Add/Remove button -> reboot, OR run this
command:
SETUP_WM /Uninstall
from within C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player [default] folder.
4. If C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player [default] folder still exists,
delete it and all its subfolders + files [if any] manually.

If you decide you will NOT use DRM copyright protected multimedia files, WMP
built-in DRM functionality can be completely removed by deleting these files
from:
- %windir%\SYSTEM [usually C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM]:
BLACKBOX.DLL
DRMCLIEN.DLL
DRMSTOR.DLL
DRMV2CLT.DLL
MSNETOBJ.DLL
- C:\Program Files\Browser_Name\Plugins [example = installed only if
Firefox,

Run DELDRM.REG every time after (re)installing WMP10 Codecs + DRM for WMP9
and/or 98MP10 to delete these Registry keys to avoid errors after deleting
DRM files above.
BACKUP all these files + Registry keys before deleting them in case you need
to restore DRM.
Both WMP10 Codecs + DRM for WMP9:
http://www.mdgx.com/wmp.htm#DRM10
and 98MP10 install %windir%\SYSTEM\BLACKBOX.DLL, which can be deleted
afterwards to get rid of DRM.

HOW TO DISABLE WMP UNIQUE ID
WMP Unique ID:
http://www.computerbytesman.com/privacy/supercookie.htm
MS WMP10 Privacy Statement:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/10/privacy.aspx
MS WMP9 Privacy Statement:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/9series/privacy.aspx
Unique WMP built-in ID "feature" [found as Registry GUID value] is sent (if
active) as UDP packets to MS and other multimedia servers whenever certain
copyright protected audio/video files download/stream/play to local
computer(s), which is sometimes considered a privacy issue.
How to disable WMP unique ID:
A. Run WMP9 [WMPLAYER.EXE] -> Tools -> Options -> Privacy tab -> uncheck
"Send
unique Player ID to content providers" box -> Apply/OK.
B. Cut + paste lines below into Notepad or better plain text editor/viewer:
http://www.mdgx.com/toy.htm#TXT
and name it DELUID.REG [example]:
-----Begin cut & paste here-----
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_USERS\.Default\Software\Microsoft\NetShow\Player]
"Client ID"="{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}"
[HKEY_USERS\.Default\Software\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\Player\Settings]
"Client ID"="{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}"
[HKEY_USERS\.Default\Software\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\Preferences]
"SendUserGUID"=hex:01
[HKEY_USERS\.Default\Software\Microsoft\Windows Media\WMSDK\General]
"UniqueID"="{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}"
"ComputerName"=""
"VolumeSerialNumber"=dword:00000000
------End cut & paste here------
Run DELUID.REG every time after installing WMP updates/patches/(hot)fixes,
multimedia software that relies on WMP APIs/encoders/decoders, server based
multimedia scripts etc, which try to reenable WMP unique ID.
How to automate this process:
1. Place DELUID.REG in the same directory where WMPLAYER.EXE resides,
usually
C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player [default].
2. Cut + paste lines below into Notepad or better plain text editor/viewer:
http://www.mdgx.com/toy.htm#TXT
name it WMPLAYER.BAT [example] and save it in
C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player [default WMP directory]:
-----Begin cut & paste here-----
@ECHO OFF
START /M /W REGEDIT.EXE /S DELUID.REG
WMPLAYER.EXE %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9
CLS
EXIT
------End cut & paste here------
3. From now on run WMPLAYER.BAT instead of WMP executable [WMPLAYER.EXE].
4. Optional: associate ALL WMP multimedia file extensions with
C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player\WMPLAYER.BAT by using Windows Explorer
-> View -> Folder Options -> File types [examples]: ASF, ASX, AVI, MID, RMI,
WAV, WAX, WM, WMA, WMD, WMS, WMP, WMV, WMX, WMZ, WPL, WVX etc.
Or download this INF [right-click to save!]:

Then right-click on it in Windows Explorer and select Install.
