Q&A For CD quality and High Rez Downloads

Question from Tom 1/19/2009
I downloaded the 24 bit stereo track however Windows Media Player V.11 says I need a codec to play it. Is there something special I need to play the music? OS is Win XP Pro.

Answer from BC Support

There's nothing special about the file itself, though you probably do need a codec as WMP doesn't read 24 bit .wav files out of the box. Depending on a few settings in your system it will sometimes download the codecs it needs. There is a 16 bit version available on our page for just this reason. If you want to do a little installing, this page addresses the issue and has a link to download the needed codec. You could also try the K-Lite codec pack. Let us know how it goes. Thanks...
