Media Player won't show mp3s.
Just recently my Windows Media Player has decided that it doesn't want
to play audio files. At least I assume it doesn't want to play audio
files since it won't display them when I tried to open them using the
File menu.
In the past I would open my mp3 files by right clicking the top of the
WMP window and selecting File->Open. Once I select the folder containing
the mp3s I want to play they would be displayed in the Open window. Now
when I do this none of the audio files are displayed (wav or mp3). If I
select "Any File" in the "File of type:" drop down the files will list.
I checked this out on a second computer and realized the I am missing
the "Windows Audio File" option from the above mentioned drop down menu.
Because of this, if I select the top option of "Media file (all types)"
the audio files won't list.
Does anyone have any ideas as to how I might be able to get the "Windows
Audio Files" option back on the list?

Thank you in advance.

RE: Media Player won't show mp3s.
What version of WMP are you using? Get a fresh copy of v10 here
which is currently the best version, not WMP11. After download, install
it overtop of current version, if possible. If not, uninstall your current
one
and then install.
WMP10 (12.2Mb)
