Re: playing mp3 files within windows

Hi,

I've looked up the error code 277 and it appears to be MCIERR_INTERNAL, an
internal driver error. The only advice the documentation gives is to try and
reboot windows. Just out of curiosity, when you get that error, do other mp3
playing programs also work?
