ITunes wont play downloaded mp3s ???

Im sorry if this topic has been posted before. I recently purchased some mp3s (NOT from the iTunes music store), I have tried to open them with iTunes, but iTunes just doesnt seem to do anything, no response at all. What do i do, please help me as i would really love to load these songs into my iPod.

Hi, the files might be in a format or have a DRM encoded in it that makes it incompatible with iTunes.

Hello Wade,
This is typically indicative of an issue with the installation of QuickTime on your computer. The following article provides steps for reinstalling QuickTime to resolve the issue.

Windows Vista and Windows 7: Click Uninstall a program (or if using Windows Vista's Classic View of the Control Panel, click Programs and Features) and select QuickTime in the list of currently installed programs.
Click the Remove button (or Uninstall for Windows Vista and Windows 7) and follow the prompts to remove QuickTime from your computer.

Itunes wont play anything, windows 7

itunes wont play anything.i hit play and it goes to pause but does not count down.im guessing it is because of the update that i did to itunes.please help.

I am having the same problem and that didn't fix it.
I purchased a new laptop with Windows 7 64 bit. I downloaded the install file. When I double click the icon nothing happens.
I Downloaded the install cleanup utility and ran that (nothing with itunes in it).
I Downgraded the UAC to the lowest security setting.
I re-downloaded the install file and tried again.
I deleted all the temp files in the user file folder.
I made the install file compatible with Windows Vista (SP 2).
Still nothing. I double click (or right click and run as administrator) and nothing happens.

I torrented new songs but itunes wont play them how do i make them work?

i torrented new music and itunes wont play them saying the files cannot be found the files are still on the computer and i can find them just find but itunes cant. how do i make itunes recognize, find and play my new music?

I don't think it's your iPod. I reckon it's something to do with the tracks themselves. I've been searching through similar posts and have tried the following suggestions (without any luck):
- swap you iPod cable to another USB port and re-sync
- whilst the iPod is connected, deauthorise your computer in iTunes and then authorise it
- re-created my iTunes library (as your iPod can only sync with one library, it will wipe clean your iPod and re-sync it) - http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93313
- have even restored my iPod
and still the 3 tracks will not play. However, I have subsequently downloaded another track (different album and artist) and that plays just fine. I have since contacted customer services about this and they have been very quick to respond, but unfortunately the re-download solution they proposed hasn't worked either so they have escalated the problem internally.
One thing I have tried (and I think it's legit??), is to burn the tracks to a CD. Remove the originals from your iTunes library to another folder. Re-import the tracks back into iTunes and re-sync. I've tried this and the tracks will now play on my iPod. I believe the above process strips off the DRM, so maybe the problem lies with the DRM encoding and your iPod believes you don't have permission to play the tracks when in fact you do. If you don't feel comfortable about doing this, I would contact customer services.

ITUNES WONT PLAY ANYTHING ***??????? HELP MUSIC WITHDRAWAL ARE I

Hello choefer_fish,
It sounds like you have some video files in iTunes that do not play when you select them in the program, but do play when you double click the files themselves. I would start by checking to see that iTunes is accessing the correct iTunes library by checking the Advanced tab of its preferences:
Windows: Choose Edit > Preferences.
Click the Advanced pane. iTunes shows the location of your iTunes Media folder.
From: Where are my iTunes files located?
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1391
If the location here matches the location you go to when you double click the files, then I would next use the Consilidate Library command to see if that gets iTunes to see it:
iTunes 11 for Windows: Change where your iTunes files are stored
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12365
Consolidate your files in the iTunes folder
You can consolidate all the files in your library in the iTunes folder—for example, to make it easier to move your library to a new computer.
Choose File > Library > Organize Library.
Select “Consolidate files.”Files remain in their original locations, and copies are placed in the iTunes folder.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

ITunes MP3 CD wont play in MP3 enabled stereo

Hi All
I have been searching around these forums and this is driving me round the bend. I burn an iTunes MP3 CD and it wont play in my car stereo. The discs load but just show up as a one track CD that continuously plays but with no sound.
My car is not old and it can play MP3 CD's. I have tried all the recommendations - adding to a playlist and setting the playlist order, creating cd's in the root directory, creating cds with tracks in folders and also using the Finder to burn the files to disc - nothing.
I really want to do this as my car has no aux input and FM transmitters are rubbish quality.
Any ideas?

Could be the CD burner. Has it been checked?

Itunes wont play my new mp3 exported from Garageband?

I export my original songs from Garageband 09 in mp3 format and add them to a playlist in itunes. Sometimes Ill make some changes to a song in Garageband and then export and replace the original exported mp3 with the same file name. The preview in Finder plays the new version but when I double click it or open it with itunes it plays the old one? Even when I delete the old one from the playlist and import the new file? Weird!

I have a similar problem .. when I import a movie, modify the audio track add sounds and music ect... export to iTunes only the original movie audio comes thru. When I check the file in the iTunes movie folder it has the Garageband sounds as I modified it. Opening the movie in Quicktime it plays the total Garageband mix. I suspect a glitch in iTunes.

Itunes wont play some of my songs...and it used to!

I had to reinstall windows ... as i have done several times in the past.. and when i added my music folder, which is on an external HD, over 500 songs wont add to the library. they will play in QT and WMP but not in itunes. when clicked itunes will open but then nothing...doesnt even show the song in the list.
Here is an example of a song that will not play, show up, or anything:
21 guns - Greenday
mp3 audio
8.66 MB
Protected - NO
Duration - 0:06:12
bit rate - 224kbps
channels - 2(stereo)
audio sample rate - 44kHz
i thought maybe something happened to all the songs around the same date but thats a no go. i have advanced mp3 catalog pro to organize my music and it has id3 editor v.2 but i use that for ALL my music not just these songs that now wont play. i tried removing the tag completely and recreating it and that also did not work. i have unintalled all itunes, apple, and quicktime applications and reinstalled ...still nothing. what now?

If you don't mind a little brute force, convert them to WAV and then back to MP3:
Use a 3rd party tool such as Switch to convert them to WAV. The conversion to WAV will wipe out every peculiarity of tags, etc (WAV is essentially just pure PCM-encoded music). Put the WAV into your iTunes library, make sure it plays, and then use iTunes to convert it to MP3.

Itunes wont play old music correctly? HELP!

I just updated to version 8 of iTunes and now it's not playing my old music. I read that it won't play imported mp3s now since apple uses mp4s now. I don't know if this has something to do with it or not - I haven't read much on this topic, so I assume everyone else's is working fine. I download most of my music on Frostwire, and had music on here before I upgraded which worked fine. Now it's playing a choppy, distorted version, which almost sounds like it's playing too fast? All of my purchased music from the iTunes Store works fine - it's just these that won't play correctly. I tried Troubleshooting and using the Support FAQs and stuff. I updated my audio driver, directx, quicktime, everything I could find - and it still won't work. My music otherwise plays fine on my comp - just not on iTunes. HELP!

I'm having the same problem. I found the help article "iTunes and QuickTime for Windows: Audio does not play or plays incorrectly" and did everything the article said. It still plays my old songs fast. Does anyone know how to fix this???

Itunes wont play my music - need help

Now it plays on my home computer where the Itunes is syncd at, however it just wont play on my work laptop. I run Xp. Heres the thing... it recognizes my ipod, brings up my 'name' for it, shows all the songs and all the movies. It just wont let me play any of them. It wont let me select any to move into playlists. Its like Im looking at a pdf or something. Help!

nevermind. Lock it up. Figured it out. I had to put Manually Manage Music on in order to play anything or create playlists. It got turned off when I installed the new version
