trouble downloading mp3 converter
« on: March 20, 2006, 12:10:38 am »

I can't seem to connect to the server to download the mp3 ripping software.  Win98SE, MC10.
Thanks!

The MP3 encoder plug-in is available on the MJ8 accessories page:

EDIT

MC10

The link was for MJ8. A plug-in for MC10 is here: http://accessories.jrmediacenter.com/mediacenter/accessories.php
Select: Windows 98, Media Center 10, Encoder Plug-ins.

Thank you, but my real problem is that I get an error message saying "could not connect to server, reason unknown (most commonly) or timed out".  Is the fact that I'm on dial-up the problem?  I've had no troubles with other downloads.  Several tries of your mc10 link didn't work.
Thanks!

I can access the download page with MS Internet Explorer and download the plugin. So I guess the http address is correct and your problem is caused by something else. (The automatic plugin download inside MC10 may be obsolate.)


Alternatively you can download the LAME encoder version MC10 uses directly from here:

http://www.musicex.com/mediacenter/mc_data/plugins/lame3.93.1.zip
     
or from here:

http://www.rjamorim.com/rrw/files/lame/lame3.93.1.zip


Unzip the lame.exe file to [MC program path]\data\plugins\. It should work after that.
