Windows Media Player 6.4 (the one I have) can't play 320kbps
files - all I get is total silence. One would expect that this
has been fixed in later WMP versions, but as I hear it
isn't.

Also, there will be no MP3 encoding (not even at low bitrates) in
Windows XP. Of course you can install any MP3 encoder
you want, but there will be no MP3 encoding tool shipping
with Windows XP.
