Hi Chris,

Ok, this is a little weird, because I checked my associations and I am using
C:\Program Files\K-Lite Codec Pack\Filters\l3codecx.ax for the MP3
extension.
The DLL ProductName is: "MPEG Layer-3 Audio Codec for Microsoft DirectShow"

This means, there must be a way to overwrite the default settings for MP3
and probably also for WMA

Best,
Ike
