MP3's dont work properly on WINXP

So I've had my ever growing collection of mp3's stored on my pc
which has been running on WIN2K.
Just bought an HP Pavilion laptop and figured I'd transfer
some of these to it. Running on WINXP of course...lo behold:

When I burn the mp3's to CD and try to copy to the laptop,
they are transfered...but will not play!
So I figured it was a bad CD, tried it again: nada, zip, zero, zilch!
Whutdabloodclot mon??? :whip: :whip: :whip: :whip:

Looked up the error code and it says that I'm trying to play old
codec on new format codec. WTF??????????????????

Anyone else ever have this problem?

/rant :mad:

maybe you could try to find somewhere an older winamp (like 2.91) I'm not sure but it *may* install some codecs which will be working...one thing WINXP as they are after installation are utter crap...you'll have to do a lot before they "work"
