ITunes 11.0.3 won't play mp3 I download online

I have itunes 11.0.3-when I download mp3 songs, it will not open up in itunes and play, which is my default music player. What is going on? I've googled this issue and nothing has come up. I've tried every solution I can possibly think of. All it does is open up iTunes, but it won't play or even save. What do I do?!?! I only use iTunes and sync everything with it. This is super frustrating!

Anfarr,
First of all, make sure that it downloads and saves to your computer. That is the job of the browser, not of iTunes.
After it saves, make sure it is a valid MP3 song file, since many downloads from the web are not valid. Did it play correctly in another player, such as Windows Media Player or Winamp?

Safari won't play mp3 - only downloads the files

Very annoying, this: I am running Safari 5.1.4 on a Lion MacBook Pro (latest version of Lion), but for some reason it won't play mp3 files - it always ends up downloading them.
However, if I try the same web page with the same mp3 files on, say, Chrome, they play just fine.
How can I fix this?

Thanks for the reply, but that's not what I want at all - it's too inconvenient.
I want mp3 files etc. to play back from *within* Safari, like it used to. Not sure when this was broken, but it is broken. As I said in the first message, playing mp3s etc. from within Chrome works just fine (I don't have to open another app to play them back), so I know this should work in Safari, too.

Itunes won't play mp3 after downloaded from firefox, but it does play it from Chrome

I download an mp3 in Firefox, which is current--31.0. I click on the download, iTunes opens it but it doesn't play it or even load it into iTunes. When I download an mp3 from Chrome, it opens iTunes just fine and plays the song. I have checked my add-ons and I have the iTunes applications detector in my plug-ins. This is a brand new computer, so that probably has something to do with it. I'm running Windows 8.1 on a Lenovo Ideapad. I would appreciate any help with this problem as my job deal with music frequently and I use Firefox most often. Thank you.

The headers on the problem tracks may be corrupted or nonstandard. This can happen with some MP3 conversion or import utilities, and iTunes is very picky about headers. If you search the web for "mp3 repair" you'll find some repair tools. Most are for Windows, but here's one for Mac that I've seen mentioned:
Mp3 Validator Mac version
I haven't tried it so I can't attest to how well (or indeed if) it will work.
Hope this helps.

Some of my songs on iTunes on my computer won't play. It asks for my Apple ID which I enter to authorize the computer, then it tells me it's already authorized but still won't play. Ideas?

Hi! I bought a song on itunes, and now it won't play on my computer or iPod. Itunes on my computer keeps telling me that I'm not authorized to play the song on my computer, even after reauthorizing it. Is there anything I can do to play the song?

I bought a song on iTunes but now it won't play on my iPhone or my laptop??

Bout the song Johnny ringo by crown the empire the other day and it was playing just fine and now it won't play anymore. I tried playing it on both my laptop and my iPhone while logged into my iTunes account and it won't play on either. It just skips to a different song

Delete and redownload it if doing so is free in your country.

Updated itunes and now it won't play any of my music, updated itunes and now it won't play any of my music

i updated my itunes, and now it won't play any of my music. i tried deleting it and reinstalling itunes, but it still is doing the same thing: whenever i click on a song, it looks like it's going to play (and my last.fm thing starts scrobbling it) but it just doesn't play the song, ever. it sits there, with the play button played. i am so frustrated with itunes, and i have no idea how to resolve this.

I rented an iTunes movie, but it won't play on my MacBook

I rented an iTunes movie, but it won't play on my MacBook. All software is updated and current.

Hi I had this problem and tried all the usual deauthorize and the mini player fixes but they did not work for me. What worked in the end was I reset the play count on the movie (right click on the movie under the rented section of your library). I have no idea why this worked but it did.

After the update iTunes keeps crashing and won't play any of my music and keeps restarting my phone.

Anyone else have this problem and resolved it?
Thank you!

Well, I hadn't rebooted after the 7.1.1 upgrade, but obviously I had to restart iTunes. After I rebooted my iBook iTunes worked... Maybe the 7.1.1 update should be marked with a must reboot?

Banshee won't play MP3s [SOLVED]

Hi everyone,
Banshee won't play MP3s which are playable in
VLC, Amarok and the Firefox and Chomium when opened directly.
When i attempt to play an MP3 it skips next track until it reaches the bottom of the list.
I would love to simply use Banshee since it can download the content from the Amazon Cloud.
Thanks in advance for any help

Banshee won't play Mp3's

Hi everyone,
Banshee won't play MP3s which are playable in
Clementine, Audacious.
When i attempt to play an MP3 it plays as if it is muted. I have checked that the sound is turned up and is not muted.
my sound works fine so it can't be muted.
I have confirmed that the codecs are installed....gstreamer0.10-plugins

Banshee switched to gstreamer 1 and the output (the last message actually from banshee and not some generic glib error message) confirms this. Therefore the obvious question would be, have you also made sure to have the gst plugins? (gst-plugins-ugly for MP3 to be precise)

N95 won't play mp3

My N95 (Vodafone) won't play .mp3 files. I copied a gigabyte of tracks to my 2Gb memory card. The music player sees all the tracks fine but when I try to play one I get about a second of music & then silence. It appears to play (time counter moves forward) for about 20 seconds & then stops.
I tried copying a track to phone memory in case it was the card but the result was the same. These tracks play fine on my iPod & on my pc.
A .dcf file in my Digital Sounds folder plays fine.
Do I just have a broken phone that I have to send back?

scoobyman,
thanks. I had a look at that but my problem is not with transferring mp3 files. I copy them directly to the memory card. The problem is that the N95 will not PLAY them.

Ipod Nano won't play any songs downloaded from MySpace pages...

My first generation Nano was initially sent back to Apple due to the battery losing it's charge to quickly. They sent me back what appears to be a replacement Nano and now this one won't play any songs downloaded from MySpace pages of bands, shared from friends (unprotected mp3 files) or otherwise downloaded from the internet.
Whats unusual is that any songs imported from a CD to the Nano play fine as do any songs purchased from iTunes. I know Apple has stated that any files the user wishes to play on their iPods will play as long as the format is compatible. (All of these songs in question played on the original Nano and the problems started when they said they fixed it and sent it back (although it is missing the engraving which to me indicates they gave me a refurbished Nano). My Applecare runs out in mid-October so I need to figure out what is wrong. I sent it back a second time and they told me they couldn't recreate the problem so they just updated the software and sent it back.
Someone suggested that some iPods have a part of the firmware activated (which Apple may have been testing) that prevents any non-ITunes store music or music no t off an original CD to fail to play.
When attempting to play downloaded songs from sites like Purevolume and MySpace the iPod plays for a few seconds then shuts down and restarts itself, all of these songs worked fine before Apple took it in for service.
Any suggestions?

Hello,
I have exactly the same problem. It`s so annoying.
I did a little bit research on this discussion board and this problem seems to be known for quite a long time. It`s confusing me Apple is not able to fix that prob or give customers quick introduction to resolve the prob.
I am currently on vacation in Florida and just bought the new iPod 30 Gig. I transfered already songs from my music cd. That worked fine.
I bought 2 music video files, synced them with no error to the iPod, but it only shows me a black screen when I want to start the video on the iPod itself. itunes plays the files with no problem.
Any ideas how to fix it??
