Message: "Couldn't find destination format"

[rlvdijk]

Hi there,

I've installed WinAmp 2.76 and got the following error when playing (or trying to play) a WAV-file. The message is: "Couldn't find destination format." Any ideas where this messages/error comes from ? I've installed the full-version of WinAmp and also have the Windows MediaPlayer 6.4.
When i play the WAV's with the MediaPlayer then everything works fine. But, of course, i don't want the MediaPlayer....

Thanks,

MediaPlayer is integrated into Windows itself and uses MCI & DirectX system codecs/filters, unlike all other players.

These WAV's are encoded with MP3-Layered compression and would probably play fine in Winamp if you simply change the extension from WAV to MP3, thus letting Winamp's MPEG Audio Decoder handle them.

been done a million times, this.

Basically, Microsoft are shit, WMA is shit, and it's a thing called DRM which is explained in this thread:
