Reports early this week suggested a bug in the Windows 7 Beta that cut of parts of the beginning of mp3 files under certain circumstances. The bug was later confirmed by Microsoft officials who reassured the public that the issue would not be a problem in the public beta release of Windows 7. Microsoft has released a patch for the mp3 bug that only Technet or MSDN subscribers can download currently from official sources. Many websites (Redmondpie) have posted the patch on their website from where it can be downloaded and applied on 32-bit and 64-bit editions of Windows 7.

Microsoft confirmed that the patch will be supplied via automatic updates and that a public Knowledgebase article is in the making. It is probably safe to say that automatic updates will list the page before January 9 to ensure that all beta downloaders get the patch before they start working with mp3 files on Windows 7.
