How can i play aiff files on my ipad??

Hello all,
How can i play .aiff files on my ipad?? I mean without converting them into mp4 format. (Converting does by far not keep the quality!)
Many thanks

Hello John,
this does not solve my problem, or at least i do not understand it. Because when i wanna transfer the file onto my ipad..... i do have a lot of backgroud noise due to the conversion and therefore the file is useless.
is there any application whixh i could download? (app store ... and then how do i have to do?)
best regards and thanks anyway for your answer......

How can I play .avi files, how can I play .avi files

how can I play >avi files on Mavericks?

This did solve my question. I'm not happy with the actions necessary to get the avi file to play, but it works. I was delivering a presentation with an embedded avi video file to a workplace audience and all of a sudden the transition from powerpoint is not "seamless" anymore, but it is better than not having the movie presentation.
Mavericks is not a big improvement for me, and this is not the first cumbersome step I've encountered. I would not recommend a leam to Mavericks unless there is something you really need. It's not all Apple's fault, as third party app providers are not keeping their product up -to-date, but we don't have computers for the fancy OS, we have it for the apps.

How to stop 12 flv files all loading at once

Hi Guys,
Ive just created a page with 12 FLV players, all to play
audio, problem is, when you click open the page, all the tracks
seem to be loading into the players.
Can some one please tell me how to stop this, Im a flash
newbie so please leave me tips on how to do this.
Also is there any code i can put in the html page, or will i
need to recode each FLV seperately.
Many thanks for your help.

There are a couple of ways I think would work.
1. Use only one Playback Component. At the appropriate time,
change the content of that single player using
instanceName.contentPath = "new file name";
2. If you use multiple players, set the parameters to not
automatically load. At the appropriate tim use
"instanceName.load();"

Safari Crash When Playing Multimedia Files

Lately, I have been having a problem with my web browers (doesn't matter whether its Safari, Firefox, Netscape, IE, etc) whereby if I try to play a multimedia file within the browser (e.g., a sound file within a page), the browser crashes and I get that TalkBack page.
Has anyone had this problem and if so, do you know how to fix it? Thanks.

It would help to know exactly what the file extensions of the multimedia files are.

How can I play .caf files on Windows desktop computer

I have a voice/sound recording program called Recorder Pro on my iPhone5. It generates .caf files, which can be transferred to my desktop computer while the phone is connected, using iTunes/Apps (where the bottom left panel upon scrolling down has two apps, Recorder pro and Garage Band, and on selecting Recorder Pro, the .caf files are listed in the bottom right panel, from where they may be copied.
However, none of the software on my desktop would play the .caf files, so following the solution in another post
https://discussions.apple.com/message/22299971#22299971
I downloaded Audacity 2.0.5.
Now, to complicate the issue, I have had two versions of Recorder Pro on my iPhone. The first version (let's call it V1) had an icon with a big oval mid-gray microphone. It was (as far as I can remember) free of charge. It seemed to have a constraint of 3 min recording time, so I replaced with a second version (V4.1.2) purchased for about $2. "V4.1.2" has an icon with a red sphere on a black background.
Both versions produced .caf files, but Audacity will only read the three files I recorded with V1 (6 to 15 MB). The two files I recorded with V4.1.2 (3-10 MB) will not play. (Import RAW in Audacity does not work either.)
I am not sure what the relationship is between the Recorder Pro programs, as they bear no resemblance in design. They both originated from DAVA Consulting. The first one was I believe from here:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/recorder-pro/id503031635?mt=8
and the second one says it is 4.1.2.
(A further complication - which could conceivably be relevant - is that V1 appeared in the bottom left of iTunes but the files did not show in the right panel, and I had great difficulty downloading those 3 files - in fact I cannot understand how they ended up copied to my desktop, since the procedure that was supposed to work was impossible due to the non-appearance of the .caf files in that panel! Then, when I did find them on my desktop, the files were truncated at less than 4 minutes .... which was the reason for purchasing V4.1.2. The question then occurs: is it critically important to download those caf files from your phone in a particular way?)

Have you tried Vox? https://itunes.apple.com/jp/app/vox/id461369673?l=en&mt=12
It plays FLAC files (and just about anything else) - though not in iTunes. No need to convert anything.

TS2776 i recently transferred my itunes file to a new pc. i am unable to play some songs i had imported to itunes and it says it cannot find the original folder. how can i play these files?

i recently had to rstore my pc. i had copied my itunes file to a flash drive and have since reinstalled it. Now, i am unablt to play certain imported files and have and exclamation mark. it says itunes cannot find the original folder. how can i play these songs if there is no other folder to find them in?

If you right mouse and select Get info it will show you the Apple ID used to purchase these songs.
Usually the name of an apple id is based on the email. So knowing that you may have forgotten the Apple ID password.
You can request a new password here http://www.apple.com/support/appleid/

Cannot play multimedia files (Solved)

I've upgraded gnome to the 2.14 version, and it works fine except that totem cannot play mp3, avi, mpeg, etc.
Before I upgraded it could play those files without problem but now it gives me this message:
" You do not have a decoder to play this file"
"You might need to install the necessary plugins"
So, what does this mead, before it worked great, but now it doesn't, I have reinstalled the "gst-plugins" package and the "codecs" package but still nothing, even after doing "gst-register".
So how could I fix it?

2.14 uses gstreamer 0.10 not 0.8.x. The gstreamer 0.10 plugin for the mp3 decoder would be for example: gstreamer0.10-mad
