This is For Zacd: I uninstalled Kazaa and installed BearShare. Now I get this
same message posted by someone already :
The audio codec identified by the format tag 55 is required to play this
file. To determine if this codec is available to download from the Web,
Web Help.
I followed your instructions for this problem in the search button for files
and folder: find the filecodeca.acm and rename it but I was unsuccesfull.
There seems to be no such file. Please Zacd, what else can I do. I've spent
the last 18 hours of my life searching the internet trying to solve this and
until I went into your webpage this tag 55 didn't seem to even exist.
S.O.S. Z.A.C.D. PLEASE!!
 
Do you have Sonic or EZCD software on this system?

The file l3codeca.acm should be in your system32 directory.
http://msmvps.com/chrisl/articles/10723.aspx
also covers this.

Before you tear your hair out, note that mplayer2.exe (already on your
system) should be able to play MP3s still, since that uses an older version
of the codec.
