    I can't play my music because Windows Media Player says I need tag 55. Can you help me get this tag?

    Format tags, such as tag 55, are used by the Player to identify which decoder to use to play back your content. If you get the following error message, "The audio codec identified by the format tag 55 is required to play this file", then the MP3 decoder on your computer has become corrupted or damaged in some way, and needs to be replaced. To fix this problem on a computer running Windows XP and Windows Media Player 9 Series:
    1. From the Start menu, click Search.
    2. Under What do you want to search for? click All files and folders.
    3. Under All or part of the file name, type l3codeca.acm.
    4. Click Search.
    5. When the results are displayed, right-click the file and then click Rename. Rename the file l3codeca.bak.
    6. Open Windows Media Player.
    7. From the Help menu, click Check for Updates. An up-to-date version of l3codeca.acm will be installed on your computer.

    sorry for digging this thread up again - but it won't let me install the codec. I have downloaded the zip file but it won't let me install - it keeps coming up "corrupt installation detected" grr this is so annoying!

    any help appreciated!
