Note: The systems optical drive software is one of the following:

• WinDVD 8 SD
• WinDVD 8 Blu-ray

Additional Information:

The Lenovo specification for WinDVD 8 does not include MP3 audio playback. The expected behavior is that MP3 files cannot be played.

MP3 files will not play in later versions of WinDVD. Systems of same model type and different manufacture date can have different behavior with MP3 files. If a Lenovo service update is applied, existing MP3 function may be removed.

The WinDVD help files may indicate that WinDVD can play MP3 audio files. WinDVD help files are generic and support all OEM versions. Possible format support is indicated regardless of included functionality.

None. Working as designed. Do not replace any hardware.

This is a limitation of the Lenovo version of WinDVD.

Use Windows Media Player or other program to listen to MP3 audio files.
