MP3 SOURCE CODEC is a perfect 3rd party mp3 decoder for Microsoft DirectShow® by dsp-worx. anyMania uses DirectShow® technology for audio playback. Unfortunately the Windows MPEG Audio CODEC provided by default has a bug in length calculating for VBR-mp3s (i.e. Variable Bit-Rate compressed mp3), which could cause problems in mp3 playing and seeking. So we strongly recommend replacing it with MP3 SOURCE CODEC.
