Hey I just bought a new Toshiba Laptop with Vista Premium and none of my Mp3's will work kn windows media player and i dunno where to get the codec because everywhere I look its always an encoding program instead... So if someone could link me to a sight where I could find a great Mp3 codec that'd be great.

Thanks alot in advance guys!

Vista should be able to play MP3s out of the box. You don't need anything else.

Are you willing to use a different program instead of WMP? I use Winamp, I have no problems with it...

[11010110]

Well I want WMP cuz its all set to default and its what I use for everything lol so is there any place I can get a codec that'l allow me to play both mp3 and wmv?

Yes, the K-Lite Codec Pack will play 99% of all files

sigh... well after calling toshiba all they could give me was advice to do a windows update (which has been done a while ago) then they told me to put in the recovery disc and flash my entire computer because the OS could be "corrupted" and I think thats bull because I just spent a solid week updating and getting this computer set up the way my last one was... From what I see from my research is that this is a pretty widespread problem and I find it unlikely that all of the people with this problem have had a faulty OS. So im just gonna keep looking. Windows doesnt have a download becasue unlke Xp's standalone version Vista has WMP built in to the OS making it impossible at this time to uninstall it. So if anyone has any ideas I'd be more than overjoyed to hear anything lol. Thanks for your help so far and keep it coming please lol. I still think a codec would be a possibility, but if im wrong someone stop me fom lookng anymore lol.

Thanks a bunch so far everyone,

ok i tried the K-lite pack but nothin doin... wmp still wont recognise mp3's so i dunno what the problem could be now

[11010110]

whoops nevermind i messed with some more settings and reset some things and now its workign just fine! thanks for all of your help everyone and especially Supercalifragilistic for that codec pack which I think really did the trick! thanks again!
