I have the same problem. My wmp10 started reporting no compatible mp3
encoder without me doing anything to it at all. I've since re-loaded it, but
it's still the same. I do have a lame encoder in "Audacity", but don't know
if I can copy this into wmp somehow.

Q: I am using WMP10 and cannot encode to MP3 (specifically MP3 at 128kbps).
Why do I get error 0xc00d0faa ("Windows Media Player cannot copy the
file...")?
A: The work-around is to go to WMP's Tools:Options:Rip Music menu and select
anything other than 128kbps in the drop-down.
The fix is to delete the registry value "LowrateSample" under the registry
key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\Settings\Mp3Encoding .
If that value does not exist, then you'll want to make that the
"PreferredCodecPath" at that location is pointing to "l3codecp.acm". If both
of those check out, then you'll want to switch to a different bitrate.
I deleted the "sample" values, and all came good.
Thanks again.
Rob.
