At my company we have a bunch of music in FLAC format. We want to play
it using the Windows Media Player, but none of us can get the
illiminable DS filters to work. Here are some details.
Illiminable DS filters
http://www.wmplugins.com/ItemDetail.aspx?ItemID=681
http://www.illiminable.com/ogg/
We are using the latest build available on this website, and I have read
all the known issues.
My computer has:
Windows XP SP2
Windows Media Player 10
Both are up-to-date
I install the DS filter as per instructions on the web site above.
FLAC (and other Ogg formats) are now associated with WMP. If I try to
play FLAC files, the WMP tries to find the codec on the internet and
fails. If I look at the WMP options, and go to the plug-ins tab, there
is nothing listed under audio codecs. If I try to manually add the ogg
filters I get no error message, but nothing gets added.
I get the same result on other WinXP SP2 computers here. I haven't
tried it on different OS's.
I don't need to use the illiminable filters - any solution for WMP is
fine. I know there are other players, and that is fine for me, but not
for some other people.
Thanks,
Tom.
