Eddie, the mp3 patent in US ends next year. There's always hope.
There's also always a way. All you need is an mp3 codec installed on the system. One that gets in the registry.
Many here have had success with K-Lite, just be careful where you download, as always, and also what you install; look to disable any unwanted add-ons along the way.


I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome
