Enable MP3 codec on Windows 10 (Fraunhofer IIS MPEG Layer-3 Codec / l3codecp.acm)

Perhaps you have been in the need of using MP3 codec (Fraunhofer IIS MPEG Layer-3 Codec) on a new windows version, I was in that situation last week.

I had to install audio software actually running on Windows XP on a new Windows 10 computer. That Audio software uses all the available codecs on the system, so once I realized that just by having windows media player is not enough like in XP, I reasearched but everything point to install klite codec pack, LAME MP3 or similar. That didn't work for me, codec pack software specially klite are good, I like it, but this software is designed to work only (not sure why) with Fraunhofer IIS MPEG Layer-3 Codec.

I was lucky to find Komeil Bahmanpour's blog (a wise dude), so I learned that l3codecp.acm file (The codec) is available in all Windows versions (tipically on Windows\system32), but is not enabled for some legal issue, but it can be unleashed by dealing with windows registry entries.

For x64 systems just do this on windows registry
reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\drivers.desc" /v "%SYSTEMROOT%\SysWOW64\l3codecp.acm" /t REG_SZ /d "Fraunhofer IIS MPEG Audio Layer-3 Codec (professional)" /f

reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Drivers32" /v "msacm.l3acm" /t REG_SZ /d "%SYSTEMROOT%\SysWOW64\l3codecp.acm" /f


In the Komeli's blog there's a batch file available to download that simplifies the task, so go and read the article http://www.komeil.com

This can enable MP3 codec for Audacy, Arrakis digilink and many audio systems.
