Frustrated beyond belief; can't play an MP3 file

I know this can POSSIBLY be that hard, but I'm a total noob
and the documentation is bewhildering at best.
I have an ASP page that pulls data, and one field is the name
of an MP3 file greeting.
All I want to do is use the MediaPlayback component to play
that file. That's all. No jukebox, no wild video, just play the one
single file that I've specified.
I put the MediaPlayback component on the page, and gave it
the name
player. In the Component Inspector I selected MP3,
Automatically Play, and left the URL blank. (If I "hardcode" the
MP3 filename in there it will play that single file, but I can't
get it to play any other files). Saved the FLA with the name Player
and then I publish the SWF into the same dir with all the MP3
files.
I tried using this code to play a file called Allen.mp3, and
no matter what I do I cannot get it to play. I've tried Param URL,
contentPath, all sorts of combinations thereof....
<object
classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0"
width="314" height="252" id="Player" align="middle">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="movie" value="Player.swf" />
<param name="URL" value="Allen.mp3" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" />
<embed src="Player.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff"
width="314" height="252" name="Player" align="middle"
allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
pluginspage="
http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"
/>
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get this seemingly
simple task completed? Using the FLVPlayback component getting it
to play videos was a piece of cake ... I don't know why I can't get
this to work.

Are your stereos capable of playing .mp3 files.
Not all CD players are equal.
as noted you can burn the message as an AIFF file then it would play in any CD player.

How can I play embedded MP3 files in Firefox 19?

I am on a site where I can buy MP3 files. There is a preview of each song. When I click the preview, nothing happens.
If I open IE and do the same thing, I hear the song.
When I return to Firefox, I can then play that same song in Firefox. I can only do this if I open the link in IE first.
I have the Quicktime plugin installed and enabled. In Firefox options, it shows to open MP3 links using the Quicktime plugin

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

JMF can not play some MP3 files on the web

I try to write the application using JMF with MP3 plug-in. The application will search the word in Google dictionary
and play the MP3 sounf online.
The almost word is playing good with the MP3PLAYER, but some is always no sound.
And Itry to add ControllerListener for this, and every word got the realizeComplete and endOfMedia event.
but I just can not here the sound for some word.
for example -
http://www.google.com.tw/dictionary/sounds/actress.mp3 does not work
http://www.google.com.tw/dictionary/sounds/actual.mp3 work
This is one first java application. And I got stuck for couple days. Is anyone can give me some hint ?
Thanks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But my requirement is to play the MP3 immediately when the user search the word.
Covert from MP3 to and WAV take too much time. I never said to do that as a solution, I told you to do that "to test that" the problem is that you're trying to play unsupported MP3s. Please do listen when people are trying to help you out.
Is there any other soulution except JMF ?To play mp3 files? Ummmm, yeah...go Google to your heart's content on ways to play MP3s (but you'll have to find another forum for help with that, because this forum is only for JMF)

ZEN: I can't play/see mp3 files that I CAN play in Win

A few albums I have uploaded to my ZEN aren't visible in the player itself.
Example: I upload 5 albums of band X. When I browse they are visible but when I start my ZEN and want to play only 3 albums are visible. As for as I know they are normal mp3 files because I can play them with Winamp. What's the problem?

The album photos are just the originals; there are no special copies in the album--it's just a list. Select the photos in the album, then go to File>Export as New Files and send the new copies where you want them.

Ipod can't play long mp3 files (eg. non-stop music)

I tried to upload 2 files x 90mb+ (70+ mins) mp3 to my ipod shuffle and some smaller mp3s songs. It's a non-stop songs btw.
When I eject and play my ipod, it only play the first 74mins mp3, the second one, and other smaller mp3s cannot be played when i press the 'next' button.
When I open my USB, I can see all those big+small files inside being categorized nicely. When I open my Rhythmbox, I can only see 1 song/album.
Another scenario is when I format my ipod and upload the smaller mp3s followed by the bigger ones, it can only play my smaller ones but will not play the bigger (long) ones.

Try deauthorizing both of the accounts (from the Store menu in iTunes). Then Restore the iPod, and re-authorize both accounts in iTunes. Then make sure you can play songs from both accounts in iTunes, hook up the iPod and sync them over.

To change your Apple ID, follow these steps:
Go to My Apple ID (appleid.apple.com), click "Manage your Apple ID", and sign in.
If you have two-step verification turned on, you'll be asked to send a verification code to the trusted device associated with your Apple ID. If you are unable to receive messages at your trusted device, follow the guidelines for what to do if you can't sign in with two-step verification.
In the "Apple ID and Primary Email Address section," click Edit.
Enter the email address you want to use, then click Save Changes. Apple will send a verification email to that address.
Open the email from Apple, then click Verify Now in the email.
When the My Apple ID page opens, sign in with your renamed Apple ID.
If you have two-step verification turned on, you'll be asked to send a verification code to the trusted device associated with your Apple ID.
After you see a message indicating that verification is complete, remember to update all of the stores and services that you use with your Apple ID.

How can I play an audio file without the whole screen going black?

When I play the mp3 file on IE it opens in a small screen so I can still see the web page.
On Firefox the whole screen is taken up with the sound file being played.
Can this be changed?

Is that file played in a tab in the current window or in a separate pop-up window?
Are you allowing pop-up to modify the window size (dom.disable_window_move_resize = false)?

Can't import my mp3 file on my computer at work

can't import my mp3 file on my computer at work but the same format will successfully import on my computer at home. Only difference is that work runs win 7 32 bit and home win7 64 bit.
can anyone help on this

iTunes seems to be quite fussy and may refuse to play/add MP3 files other palyers accept.
If you have the CDs you could try resaving them. Also some tag editors claim to have repair abilites. For example this one:
http://www.magnusbrading.com/mp3ts/
Or there is a repair tool here:
http://www.drtag.de/en/description_mp3rt.htm
I haven't tried these myself and it is always a good idea to work on copies of files if you are experimenting.

Can you save an mp3 file that you receive as an attachment to an email?

Can you save an mp3 file you receive as an attachment to an email?

Irwinwilliam-
With other attachments, you can press and hold on the attachment icon. One of the options that may appear is "Open In". Choosing that, any App that is capable of reading the attachment should show up as a choice. When opening the document that way, a copy is transferred to the App. I have not tried with an MP3 file.
For MP3, I think the Music App should be a choice. If so, the file should then appear with your other music.
If an inappropriate App appears in "Open In", you may be able to use it as a conduit to transfer the attachment to your computer. Run iTunes on your computer with the iPad connected. Select the iPad under DEVICES, and click on Apps at the top of the window. Scroll down to File Sharing and select that App. If successful, your document will appear to the right in the Documents window, where you can select it and Save As.

Can't Play VCD *.DAT files in QT 6.5.3

I can't play vcd *.dat files in QT 6.5.3 (OSX 10.2.8) But i can play them using QT 6.0.2 in OS9.2.2 What do i need to do to play them in OSX using QT 6.5.3? Thx for the help...Dave
Mac G4 AGP, PB G3 Bronze, PPC G3 Biege Mac OS X (10.2.x)

Yes, tried that.... QuickTime/open movie/go to vcd/MPEGAV/AVSEQ01.DAT/choose....I then get error message 'Couldn't open file AVSEQ01.DAT because there was an input/output error' So then i tried oening from the desktop.
Is this a commercial VCD or a Toast burn? Asking because I know mine was made by Toast back in OS 9 when the MPEG-1 extension was included with Toast. If so, am wondering if you have an OS X compatible version of Toast installed. I have the latest version of Toast installed and was thinking it might include some component that is allowing me to open the AVSEQ01.DAT file without error. (I get the error when I attempt to open via the OS 9 VCD script in the CDI folder since I no longer have access to "Classic" mode.)
VCD/MPEGAV/AVSEQ01.DAT/double click...I then get error message...'Chinese Input Method Plug-in Converter' Open file error.
Chinese Input Method Plug-In Converter appears to convert input text to Chinese "graphic equivalents" contained in .DAT extension files. (Plug-in probably works as some sort of a text-to-graphic buffer.) It may simply be selecting this as an "application/utility of opportunity" here and generates an error when it reaches the end of the "look-up table" without finding a valid match.
In any case, I take it your VCD does not contain a QT reference movie (.MOV) that points to the AVSEQ01.DAT file as the movie resource.

Why can't I delete mp3 files from my Trash? They are not locked.

Why can't I delete mp3 files from my Trash? They are not locked. I compressed them into a zip file and then couldn't delete that file either. I've restored them and tried deleting again but no luck. Can anybody please help? iOS 10.8.5

You can't empty the Trash or move a file to the Trash
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on solving Trash issues. You can also try using Trash It! 5.1 to fix the problem. Or you can try this:
Open the Terminal in the Utilities folder and paste the following at the prompt:
sudo rm -Rf ~/.Trash/*
Press RETURN. Enter your admin password when prompted. It will not echo to the screen. Press RETURN again.

How can I play MPEG-4 files in Premier Elements? It plays in iTunes but I only see video in Element

how can I play MPEG-4 files in Premier Elements? It plays in iTunes but I only see video in Elements

LGSh
Lots of questions, lots of answers needed as mentioned by Hunt. But please include what version of Premiere Elements that you are using when you reply.
How are you importing these file into your Premiere Elements project?
After you drag your file to the Timeline, do you see both an video and audio component (on Video 1/Audio 1) or is there nothing on the Audio 1 track? If you can see a wave form or file on Audio 1, have you checked all the program's volume settings including Edit Menu/Preferences/Audio Hardware and the ASIO settings?
More later.
Please do not hesitate to ask if you need clarification on anything written.
Thank you.

My QuickTime player us not playing .avi files and says I need a codec I can't play no .avi files on QuickTime. How could I fix this because I want to play these files with QuickTime.

Hmm . . . comes with a Utility MPEG2 Component ML app with no explanation of what it's for?
The utility app is an "assistant PKG installer." It allows Lion and Mountain Lion users to install the older QT MPEG-2 Playback Component installer PKG file which is not allowed to run on its own under Lion or Mountain Lion since these operating systems already have a QT X only MPEG-2 component embedded in the QT embedded structure. Without this utility you would have to either copy the component from an older system to your Lion or Mountain Lion system, use Pacifist for installation, or manually open the PKG contents and transfer the component to the appropriate component folder.
As to your "discussion" regarding the playback of AVI file types, there are really only two strategies here:
1) You can add component support so that QT can play the files natively or
2) You can convert the file contents to compression formats that are natively compatible with the unmodified QT component configuration.
Each user should decide for his or her own self which approach best suits their needs for a particular source file. In most cases, conforming the system's codec component configuration to play the source file directly results in higher video quality since no transcoding takes place but this strategy will not work if a codec which is required is not available for the user's operating system. On the other hand, converter utilities tend to support more built-in codecs and are easier to use since the user does not have to concern him or herself with the nature of the particular source compression formats but at the risk of some potential loss in visual quality. As to what converter to use, once again this is a matter of personal choice. In the case of commercial converters like iSkysoft, the codecs are built in while MPEG Streamclip accesses the host operating system's QT codec component configuration. I personally prefer the free HandBrake app for AVI, MKV, TS, MTS, and M2TS conversions since it has an exceptionally full-featured X.264 GUI with some user options that 97% of users are likely to never use.

Make sure you have FULL control over the entire folder where that song is. It might even be a permissions problems on the folder(s) above it.
Also in Vista, it sometimes isn't enough to have read/write control. You need FULL control.
