Subject:MPEG Layer 3

Does anyone know if there is something available that will
let me install the MPEG Layer 3 codec on a users machine.
I'm working on a project in which there are a number
of .wav files saved using the MPEG Layer 3 compressor. The
problem is that most Win 95 and NT machines don't support
files saved under that format. Am I screwed?

Hi Ken,

I believe if you have your user upgrade (a free download) to the
latest Windows Media Player, then they will be able to play your
files.

Scott,

I originally had the same idea except the latest Windows Media Player
will not run on Win 95 or NT. So my problem still exists. I need a
MPEG Layer 3 audio decoder I can install on users machines.
