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. If the value of “PreferredCodecPath” is “l3codeca.acm”, that is WRONG. It should never be that ever. l3codecp.acm is the correct setting for WMP10.
