Lame Media Player
I really don't like Windows Media Player--or any other fancy player either, for that matter. But I had no idea this could happen:
C00D0BB8: Cannot play the fileI am amazed that they know about this problem well enough to have a detailed help message for it, yet they apparently can't or won't fix it. Use a non-Microsoft ID3 tag editing program? Yeah, I'm sure Media Player's target audience (people who don't bother to find a something better than Media Player) want to go to those lengths.
Windows Media Player cannot play the file. You might encounter this error message for the following reason:You are trying to play an MP3 file that contains compressed ID3 headers. The ID3 header is a portion of the file that stores the song's album information (for example, the song name, artist name, album name, and genre). This information is sometimes called a "tag."
To fix the problem, make a copy of the file and then use a non-Microsoft ID3 tag editing program to remove or reset the file's ID3 headers. After you remove the ID3 headers, Windows Media Player should be able to play the MP3 file.
Viva Winamp!
