Are you a MP3 fan ? Add ability to rip MP3 songs in Windows Media

I am not that great a fan of MP3 but do appreciate its power. If you have a
truckload of CDs that you would like to listen to but do not want to carry
all of them at the same time, you can rip them into MP3. Yes it can be done
technically and that too from Windows Media Player even though make sure
you have legally on right side of fence, meaning you own the CD that you
would rip MP3 from. That said here is the little tweak in registry. Open
Registry by going to START-RUN and typing REGEDIT. Navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MediaPlayerSettings\MP3Encoding] and
adding following entries
"LowRate"=dword:0000dac0
"MediumRate"=dword:0000fa00
"MediumHighRate"=dword:0001f400
"HighRate"=dword:0002ee00
which corresponds to 56, 64, 128 and 192 Kbps. Following table would help
with other settings as well:
320 Kbps = dword:0004e200
256 Kbps = dword:0003e800
224 Kbps = dword:00036b00
160 Kbps = dword:00027100
112 Kbps = dword:0001b580
