I looked in Control Panel/ Multimedia/ audio Commpression Codecs. The
one that I have says Fraunhofer IIS MPEG Layer-3 Codec (advanced).
I think I downloaded it from the Microsoft site under NetShow Tools.
The files seem to play ok if I leave them as WAV files or rename them as
MP# files, however, with WAV files, the Windows Sound recorder plays
them and the other way, as MP3 files, Real Player plays them.
