Kane released a directshow filter which is based on Otachan's in_mpg123.

Of course, both of FhG and MAD are also good enough.

In WindowsXP I have Lame in my system codecs, and I think Windows uses the FraunHofer mp3 for system decoding overriding Lame - at least on the rare occasions when I use WMP. So am I supposed to install this directshow filter alongside whatever else is already there, or should I uninstall anything first?

Thanks for any advice on conflicts or how to use this for playback etc, I get scared of breaking Windows

You might just want to change filter merits, so the filters you want get used by default. In control panel, open Sounds and Audio Devices, pick Hardware, then Audio Codecs, and hit Properties. Choose Properties tab, and you should see the list of installed codecs. Select the codec you want, hit Properties, and use the Change Priority setting.

Edit: I don't think LAME ACM supports decoding of audio (or it was in the alpha stage the last time I checked), only encoding.
