In order to save files in mP3 format you must have an mP3 encoding capable codec installed on your system. This codec is standard with Windows XP but your PC manufacturer may have decided not to include it with your version. Also other applications may have replaced this codec with a decode only version. For more information look here: http://mp3decoders.mp3-tech.org/decoders_acm.html

We recommend running all Windows and Windows Media Player/Center updates on your computer. Codec Installation Packs can also be found on Microsoft's website at:

Technical Notes: Ability to record MP3 format lost on Windows XP
Windows XP comes with an MP3 driver, the Fraunhofer IIS MPEG Layer-3 codec, that allows MP3 playback and low-quality MP3 recording. After installing certain software packages, the ability to record MP3's may be lost.

When you look in the Control Panel, Sounds and Audio Devices, Hardware tab, Audio codecs, Properties, you'll see the driver listed as "Fraunhofer IIS MPEG Layer-3 codec (decode only)". This confirms that the wrong driver is installed.

The cause is simple: some packages install a playback-only version of the driver. The driver in question is l3codeca.acm, which is replaced by the playback-only version l3codecx.acm. Fortunately, the original driver file is not lost; you just need to edit the Registry.

In HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Drivers32, locate the item named msacm.l3acm. Its value should be changed from l3codecx.acm to l3codeca.acm. To confirm that you have successfully changed the driver, once again open Sounds and Audio Devices, and find the codec.

Note that it may be necessary to use the full pathname (e.g., C:\WINDOWS\system32\l3codeca.acm) for the codec in order for its name to appear properly in the Audio codecs list.

Yeah, same problem here. MP3 codec not detected. I tried everything Support_MS posted, but nothing works. I don't even have the file msacm.l3acm in my registry. I know MPT works because I used to use it all the time. Anybody know what else I can try? I already tried codec packages and everything.
