Play 24 bit audio in Mediaplayer

In case you care...

I found myself many times trying to play fx samples or masters in 24 bit, where opened in Mediaplayer, it looks for a codec and then returns an error. Hmm...bahh...it's a nono.

SOLUTION:

1. Download this zip:
http://www.kraftwerket.dk/AudioTypeConvert.zip

2. Copy the included file, AudioTypeConvert.ax, to c:windowssystem32 or whereever your windows installation is.

3. Now go to your start menu and press "Run" (maybe defferend in your language).

4. Type this:

regsvr32.exe c:windowssystem32AudioTypeConvert.ax

(if you changed the path in part 2., you need to change it here too)

Windows should say something like "DlRegisterServer in c:windowssystem32AudiotypeConvert.ax succeeded"

VOILA!!!</A>

The tip is from here: http://www.mcse.ms/archive216-2005-6-1657903.html

Winamp plays 24-bit files. I often use that.

vlc mediaplayer plays files up to 32 bits, mpeg videos, etc. without the need of installing nothing in your system.
