96kbps tracks won't play correctly

Win 2K Itunes 7.3.2.6
All was fine for many years... suddenly anything that's not @ 128kbps sounds faster, scratched, jumpy - help!!
All music plays correctly through Windows Media Player but not through Itunes or Quicktime.
Incidentaly, all the 96kbps tracks say Encoded with: Unknown - although I have always used itunes.
Any help much appreciated.
Cheers
Paul

Set your encoding preferences to MP3 @ 128 (or whatever number you prefer). Take one track to work on, and use Advanced > Convert Selection to MP3. Find the new MP3 in your library; if you sort by Date Added it will be at the top. See if the new MP3 plays OK. If so, keep it and delete the original (96) one. BTW, the new one should say "Encoded with iTunes x.x.x."

  • I clicked "locate" when prompted, now the track won't play at all even from the hard drive though it's listed in iTunes. Can anyone help?

    I was prompted to "locate" a track, clicked yes, and now the track won't play no matter where I play it from. I've put it on the desktop, added it to library, tried everything - is there an equivalent "reconnect media" function like in Final Cut Pro? I'd be grateful for any help thanks

    Will it play in Quicktime player?  If not it may be corrupt and will have to be reloaded from the original source.

    To whom it may concern, This morning I purchased an album, on listening to it three of the tracks are not playing correctly. I read on an apple discussion board that I should delete them and re-download them. This did not work as I was asked to pay for them, and one of the tracks was an album only track.

  • TS2289 Audio Track Won't Play

    I imported an audio clip yesterday and it worked fine. Today when I opened my project, there was a yellow warning triangle in the top left above the first frame of my movie and the audio track won't play. What should I do?
    And where the heck is the "clock buttom"? I wasn't able to follow Apple Support's suggestions because I can't find it.
    Mike

    I've adjusted my project according to Brian'statement, so I made all audio tracks and video track the same length, but it still doesn't work when I create the flash file. It plays only 1 audio track, whatever language you choose. It plays the audio track that is"active" in the project. This happens only with the flash. If I burn a DVD, then everything works fine... Am I doing something wrong ?

    So just to be clear on a few things:
    Should partitioning the hard drive not work is it undoable?
    Will this have any impact on doing a complete erase and reinstall and will that restore it back from the process?
    Is there a limited amount of space that makes this process ineffective?
    I have never had to do this sort of thing so I just want to be sure I don;t wind up in the dog house *)

  • Slideshow Music tracks won't play

    I've tried various iTunes tracks and the perinstalled Aperture themes like Ken Burns, holioday mobile and cuts from the Sample music folder. The tracks won't play in the slide show proper or in the music pane. And it dsoesn't matter if the tracks are added as the main or secondary tracks.
    Ive rebuilt and repaired the library, deleted the Aperture plist file from ~Library>Appleication Support>Aperture and removed the presets folder. I've also done a Disk Utility permissions rebuild, Aperture permissions rebuild, Aperture Database rebuild, etc.
    What I discovered last night is that Aperture will crash whenever I select Aperture>Presets>Slideshow. Selecting the other presets is fine and the appropriate dialogs will present themselves. When the Slideshow preset is selected, a minature ghost image of the dialog appears for about 2 seconds and then the app crashes.
    Here's the first part of the crash log. Any help will be gratly appreciated because I'm trying to put together a slide show for my niece's wedding!!

    Sorry, I should have given more details but I've posted variants of this question in many places already, moving to a different forum when advised to by others because it really does seem to be a multi-application problem.
    I was sent the slideshow as part of an .rcproject file. They had tried to create a DVD but had been unsuccessful, so just sent me the project from which I could view the slideshow complete with soundtrack.
    To find out how it should have been done I asked here about the easiest method in iLife to create a DVD from a slideshow and was told iDVD, but when I added the movie files back in as an intro the slideshow soundtrack disappeared and I couldn't find out where to or how to get it back.

  • IPhone4, iPod app weirdness. Some tracks won't play. [updated]

    Hi all.
    So yesterday on my way to work my iPhone4 stopped playback (iPod app), i pressed the play button, but it just didn't do anything and the track remained unplayed. I click to the next track and that one worked just fine.
    This happen to serval tracks on my way to work and later on my way home, and again this morning. The patten, is that all the music that won't play are coming from a few albums, Hendrix, Red Hot Chilli Peppers blah blah blah.
    I checked those track in iTunes and they played just fine. Also these tracks were downloaded from iTunes. There were not CD rips for downloads from another vender.
    The only thing i did before this happened, was a sync/backup to iCloud that night before (Sunday).
    As yet i have no idea what went wrong. And if you have had this happen and figured it out please let me know. Or if this is happening to you now, what are you doing to figure it out?
    I, right now, am re-uploading all the music. I first removed it, all. Every album, every track. And i'm hoping that by re-installing them all over again will fix this, weird, issue.
    [Update]
    Okay, so the re-install of all the music is done, and i played Jimmy Hendrix through my iPhone4. So i guess that worked. If i have anymore issue like this i'll update this post. But if you are having this same issue, than i suggest that you re-move all the music. Or rather that ones that are stalling. And re-load tham again. As i didn't want to miss any i did the lot. Hope this helps.

    No replies. I've taken to noting the problem tracks and just re-ripping them from their original sources. This seems to fix the symptom at least, if not the cause.

  • Track won't play!

    I have a song that won't play, even though it's been authorized, and I have not exceeded computers to play it on. It just skips over the track. I paid for it through iTunes.

  • Section of my track won't play...

    I use GB for a podcast.
    I recorded some voice, when in and did some snipping and joining of a few track segements.  Then recorded a new section on the same track, but the new section won't play.  I can see there are sounds recorded, but when I play, I don't hear anything.  If I go back to the 1st recorded section - remember this is all the same track - it WILL play.
    I'm confused.

    Hello alysoftball1
    There are a few things to try. The first is if it is purchased, just delete the songs and download them again from the purchases section in iTunes. The second is to try and convert the songs to a different format. The article below will assist with that further.

  • Instrument track won't play (appears grey)

    All of a sudden my grand piano track is grey and won't play back. All of my other tracks work and it is NOT on mute.
    I don't think I did anything differently. The only thing I can think of is that I was tinkering with audio filters for this instrument track. Could that have caused it?
    How do I fix it? I don't want to have to re-record the whole thing. I'm too far ahead to do that....
    Thanks! I'm waaaay to frustrated to continue. 3 hours wasted it feels like.

    I will try the M button but here's why I don't think it will work:
    If I copy the track's contents into a new empty track, the new track doesn't play.

  • Song won't play correctly no matter how many times I replace it.

    I am trying to copy over Santana - Supernatural - Do you like the way to my iphone. But the problem is everytime it is copied to the iphone it seems to become corrupted and doesn't play correctly. If I play it in iTunes it has no problem so the original file is ok. It's just the copy on the iphone that is messed up. What it will do is start playing the song for about 1 second, then sound ends for 1 second then the song restarts. This happens every time.
    Like I said I have deleted it off my phone about 4-5 times and told it to recopy it again but it won't. Perhaps I am not deleting it right? I delete it off of my play list then sync my phone. It no longer shows up in my list of songs or by artist. Then I put the song back on the play list and resync it.
    Any ideas?

    one thing that might help.
    If the song was imported from a cd or other location, you might want to try changing the format of the song file.
    Here is an article from the apple support website that might help out.

  • GarageBand won't play correctly

    I've used GarageBand for many years and have never had this problem before. You know when you solo a track and press play you can still hear the other tracks sort of muffled in the background? Well, now the entire song sounds like this when no tracks are set to solo. I've tried locking all tracks, unlocking all tracks. I tried a 'File>Save As' and GarageBand crashes every time. The only way I can get proper sound is for all of the tracks to be set to solo, which kind of destroys the meaning of the word "solo".
    If anyone has any suggestions it would help me considerably. I'm on the last track of this album!
    Thank you.

    that should only happen if you record using a mic and it picks up the sounds from the other tracks. otherwise, soloing a track plays that track only

  • Long track won't play on shuffle

    I've uploaded some songs and podcasts to my iPod Shuffle, but some podcasts won't play at all on the Shuffle. The files all play in Itunes itself.
    The podcast is a mix with a duration of about an hour. It's encoded AAC 128 Kbps. Is there a maximum duration for audio files on the Shuffle or am I doing something wrong here?
    Thanks for any help!

    Thank you! Did the trick

  • Videos won't play correctly on new machine

    I just got a new computer and I'm running Vista on it. I transferred all my purchased videos to it, but none of them play correctly. The audio works fine but the video is slow and choppy. I already tried everything I could find on the apple website and none of it worked. The computer easily meets the requirements for playing video and I have th newest version of itunes. Any help is appreciated, thanks.

    When you say you "authorized the computer", you are talking about setting up iTunes to play your purchased content, right?

  • Some tracks won't play in iTunes anymore

    I have a number of .mp3 files that iTunes used to play, but now no longer will. Nothing happens when I double click on them or press play. Most of my other tracks play fine.
    When I "get info" about the problem tracks within iTunes, and I click on Summary, I notice that the Format, Channels, ID3 Tag, and Encoded With fields are no longer present. The file type is still MPEG, and when I locate the files through the finder and get info, they are .mp3 files with an .mp3 extension.
    I've read some discussion of this problem on these boards, and some have suggested that the problem occurs when one tries to play the files through QuickTime. This isn't my case. (Quicktime says "the movie could not be opened.") But I have noticed that the problem tracks do have in common album titles in which I have included a colon. I allow iTunes to organize my files, and usually--and even in the case of these problem files--an underscore replaces the colon when iTunes creates the album folder in my Music folder. I bring this up only to suggest that one common denominator for the problem files is the presence of a colon in the album name for the iTunes tag, although the presence of a colon is not a guarantee that the file will not play.
    I have tried copying a trouble file to the desktop, deleting the file from the library and from the Music folder (although I haven't emptied the trash) and then trying to restore the copy to my iTunes library. iTunes won't accept the file.
    Any ideas? What a crazy problem!

    Unfortunately, you are not alone with this. However, I have yet to come across a solution to the problem after many hours trawling these discussion boards and the net.
    I have exactly the same symptoms. But my common denominator is ‘missing Album Artwork’. Although the album has Artwork, all the tracks that have ceased playing and are being ignored by iTunes, have lost their Artwork.
    This would suggest a problem with the ID3 tags i.e that they have become corrupted. Of course, the recent update from iTunes 6 to 7 which introduced the ‘Coverflow’ technology has coincided with the start of my problem. A quick glance at the ‘last played’ date of the problem tracks confirm that the corruption of the ID3 tag is DEFINETLY post iTunes7.
    I have tried editing the metadata with an ID3 tag editor, and can change everything except the Artwork field. If anyone has found a way to restore a track after the same problem, please post…many thanks.
