Hi Nino,

Are you sure you're trying to play MP3 and not AAC?

I ask that because we're aware of playback issues in the Windows build 
(look at bug https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=643123 ), 
however as Jo Shields mentions in comment#21 of that bug, it seems to be 
AAC the only codec that is not working.

You can try installing some additional codecs, as Nelson mentions, but 
that would be only a workaround, because ultimately we would like the 
Windows installer of Banshee to JustWork(TM) ;)

So, any help from you in that bug is appreciated (please subscribe to it 
and give us updates if you manage to find the workaround).

Thanks
  Andres
