Listening to music on MP3 sites

When I try to listen to music on certain MP3 sites, I get this box message saying this...Safari cannot find the Internet plug-in. The page “mp3search.ru” has content of MIME type “application/x-mplayer2”. Because you don’t have a plug-in installed for this MIME type, this content can’t be displayed.
What do I need to do to listen?
Thx

You need to install either the Flip4Mac plug-in or Windows Media Player to play those samples from a website like that.
If you download the files, they will be in a regular MP3 format and play fine in iTunes.

  • I cant watch youtube vids, listen to music from some sites or videos from FB or anywhere else. Help!

    I cant watch youtube vids, listen to music from some sites or videos from FB or anywhere else. Help! I have read some of the help answers but the Flash settings change hasnt helped me. I am on tumblr, soundcloud, Fb etc and Im frustrated that I cant play music or watch videos without switching to IE or AOL. :(

    First off, you are on a VERY out of date version of Firefox, which could be the problem, but is also leaving you wide open to attack from many different security holes. You first thing to do is to go to [http://www.getfirefox.com www.getfirefox.com], download the newest version to your computer and install it.
    AFTER doing that, do the following:
    Run all Windows Updates, install all needed service packs, etc.
    Update your graphics driver (Firefox uses your graphics card for some rendering, and an out of date graphics card driver can cause problems. [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
    Update all your plugins (Flash, Java, etc.): [http://www.mozilla.org/plugincheck/ http://www.mozilla.org/plugincheck/].
    and finally, if you still are having trouble, reset Firefox. [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]]

  • Cannot listen to music on music sites - IE works fine

    Starting yesterday I can no longer listen to music samples on sites that I purchase music from. Everything works normally on IE but not on Firefox and this is on two different computers. Firefox shows no message about any missing plug-ins. Nothing happens when I press buttons to listen. There is more than one site this is happening on, but a sample is shown below. Hate to have to give up Firefox after years of using it, but I have to be able to listen (I am a choir director and singer). One computer I tried yesterday is Windows XP. The one I'm using today is Windows 7, so it's not the operating system.

    Didn't work. The site worked fine until yesterday in Firefox. It works fine in IE and Chrome.

  • IOS Music Player MP3 Gapless Playback Problem

    Hi,
    I've been having this gapless playback issue on iOS now for the past few years, since at least iOS 6 if I can remember correctly. The number one reason I use an iPhone and iOS devices is for gapless playback in the iOS music player. For the last few years I've  been experiencing a bug with the stock iOS music player on my iPhone 4S using iOS 6 and on my iPhone 5 using iOS 6 & 7, and currently on my new iPhone 6 running iOS 8.1.2. This only happens on my iPhones and using iOS, this bug is not found when I use my iPod classic or when playing the same albums through iTunes.
    I thought it might have been spotted by other iOS users and fixed in iOS 7.1 or at least the current version of iOS 8, but instead it's gotten worse, albums that used to play smoothly between transitions now suddenly pause and jump for a split second when changing from track to track.
    What's happening is, I listen to a lot of albums that are continuously DJ mixed and play straight through without any pauses between tracks, and I've been experiencing problems a lot now with random split second pauses between tracks and choppy transitions. These albums in question have been ripped from cd using the latest versions of iTunes.
    For example,
    I'd be listening to an album and it would play gapless and smooth for most of the album, but maybe one or two transitions on the album would have a split second pause between them, and the rest of the album would play perfectly with no pauses, skips or jumps at all.
    This only happens on my iPhone, as I have a 160gb iPod classic and I've listened to all the same albums on it and never has a problem playing the album without any pauses, every album plays 100% smooth and gapless on it.
    I mailed Apple about it through their feedback page on their site... https://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
    Hoping that they would take note of this and try and look into it and fix the issue. That was probably about a year ago now, never got fixed or got any confirmation back from them about this problem. Then last August, I'd had enough and contacted Apple support to notify them about this issue. They told me the usual story, "have you tried restoring the phone?", which I obliged and did. The problem was there on a freshly restored iPhone 5.
    So they told me that they would put me in touch with someone higher in Apple to take the case further, "great" I thought.
    I spoke with a senior care advisor and explained the problem and agreed to send detailed explanations of the issue and test files too so that they could hopefully hear what I was talking about. But after a few weeks of going back and forward, I finally got them to hear the issue with the random pauses, the first week they denied there was a problem and said the files played ok on their test iOS devices, so I myself tried the files on another iOS device and the same problem was there.
    The last correspondence I had with the Apple care advisor was back in the end of August / start of  September, and she told me that they spotted the issue and was told by the tech's that it would be fixed in a future update, I never got a when this would happen, I was just told to make sure my iOS device was up to date with the latest version of iOS. I couldn't speak to an actual technician, got no follow up support, just a vague "We'll look into it." Case Closed.
    I got so sick of this problem that I sold my iPhone and iPad just after this last phone call with the Apple people, and switched over to Android. I'd being reading up on gapless playback music players and found out that there's a good few available for Android devices. I got myself a Sony Xperia Z3 Compact, twice as powerful as the iPhone 6 and half the price. I was using that for the last few months, and playing my music through Neutron Music Player app which is a great music player which plays gapless 100%
    But I couldn't really take to Android OS, seeing as I've been using Apple products for around 10 years now and iOS since the iPhone 3G. So I decided to contact Apple again and see if they'd fixed the music player issue in iOS yet.
    I wrote a long email explaining the problem, how it wasn't really looked at properly, and how I was a long time Apple customer and had to resort to switching over to Android because the basic music player functions on iOS devices have bugs. I took a chance in mailing this to Tim Cook's offices, I knew he wouldn't reply personally, just thought that it might get read by someone in his offices with a bit more say in the matter.
    Just before Xmas, I got a call from someone from executive relations from my local Apple offices about this. He seemed nice and was aware of the problem from reading back through my emails and previous case notes from August when I opened this case originally.
    We had a talk and he said he would get one of the tech's to call me too about this so that I could explain the bugs to someone more knowledgeable about iOS.
    A few days later I received a call from one of the tech's at Apple and was chatting to him, explaining the problem. His response was that he thinks Apple doesn't support gapless playback on current iOS devices. From looking at the gapless playback information page on the Apple support site below, it looks like it hasn't been updated to show any iPhone models after the iPhone 3GS... http://support.apple.com/en-ie/HT201644
    I was trying to explain to him how ridiculous this sounded, why would Apple stop supporting basic functions on their music player on iOS devices? It makes no sense at all? You can see that the amount of hardware devices and software that supports gapless playback today... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gapless_playback#Player_support
    He couldn't explain either, he just said that because it's not listed there on the Apple support page.
    Then the next day I got the follow up call from the Apple executive relations guy, he was stating that he was speaking to the tech guy that called me and it looks like Apple doesn't support gapless playback anymore, from looking at the documentation on site.
    I told him how stupid this was, and how lots of music players have gapless playback as standard today. And if they don't support it now, then why does it play through some parts of the albums on iOS ok and then just randomly pause, or have jumpy / choppy transitions on the rest of the album. If it was the case, no albums would play gaplessly at all, it would be like when the first ever iPod's were released back in the day with no gapless playback and would pause for a split second between every transition.
    He couldn't give me an answer and said that maybe down the line they would start supporting it again, and that I should request the feature to be added to future iOS versions via the iPhone feedback page... https://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
    He just kept on emphasising that it was "NOT A BUG OR ISSUE", trying to cover up the problem because the info on the site wasn't updated to show the current iOS devices. Which in itself is wrong, looking at the page it says "Supported iPod and iPhone models (make sure you have the latest iPod or iPhone software)"
    iPhone, iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS only go up to iOS 6, so that contradicts itself when the latest version is iOS 8.
    The info is out of date and needs to be updated. So in August I was told, "we found the issue and will look into it" and a few months later, "it's not an issue", what's a cop out.
    I was annoyed and taken back by this response, and really found it hard to believe that this was the case, Apple stopping supporting their music player on iOS devices. Seeing as iTunes plays everything smoothly and no gapless issues. I just went out and bought an iPhone 6 for €900 / $1060, and for that money you'd expect it's basic music player to work. It's total BS to think that a top computer software / hardware company would just decide to abandon basic functions in their devices, especially when we are talking about how much Apple takes pride in their products and how much more they charge for them over their competitors.
    So this is my next step to try and get this problem seen and out in the open more. The more people who know about it and are aware of the issue, the better.
    Hopefully more people can get the word around and get this noticed by Apple and finally fixed.
    I've uploaded some test files below to show the problem. The files are mp3's and aac, and have been ripped from cd using the latest version of iTunes. The mp3's are the ones with the issue, but the aac play with no problem. If you listen to the transition at the end of track 2 (2-02 Colours (JH Re-Edit)) going into the start of track 3 (2-03 Your Body), you will notice the split second pause / jump. But listen to the aac version and compare it to the mp3 version and you will hear that it plays back fine, just as it's supposed to. Try them in iTunes too and both versions playback fine, no jumps or pauses.
    You can download them here, all links have the same files, I just uploaded them to different hosts for other people's choosing...

    https://www.sendspace.com/file/lubcmc
    More files can be provided if needed to show the problem happening on various other albums.
    I really hope that people can spot this issue too and help get this fixed, I know this gapless playback feature might not be important to some people, but like I said at the start, it's an essential function for me in a music player and I use it on a daily basis when I listen to music.
    Thanks for reading this long rant of mine, appreciate it.
    Ger

    I believe this issue occurs only between songs that iTunes has converted to a lower bitrate for you during transfer to your iOS device and songs that it has not done this for. Take this Between the Buried and Me album, for instance. I have marked all of the transitions that should have been gapless but probably aren't in red. I know for sure that most of these marked transitions are indeed broken and that the most of the transitions not marked in red work flawlessly... I honestly can't remember whether or not some of these transitions were gapless or not, but the many transitions I do remember working or not working match up exactly with whether or not the songs on either side of the transition were also on other sides of the 256kbps threshold, the threshold at which I enabled iTunes to convert tracks to 256kbps AAC.
    I'm going to try re-sync'ing my library with that "feature" disabled and see if it fixes my gapless playback problem. Will post the results once I test it out.

  • Nokia N8 - How long can I listen to music? [And ot...

    Hello guys! I am a Nokia n8 user and I am pretty happy with it ( Wouldn't trade it for an Iphone ) . I am going in a trip soon and I would like to know if I can listen to Music on my N8 for around 6-7 hours without recharging. I am going to use Pioneer SE-M390 Headphones and I'd like to turn the volume very high ( Maybe Max ). Do you think my phone can handle it? I have recently deleted all widgets and turned off all background apps . With energy saving mode the phone survies decently a few days ( it simply stays unused ). Do you think I should better buy a MP3 Player? The ones I have been looking into are pretty expensive and I thought the phone might be good too since the sound is superb and has a lot of memory. Also during the camp I might be the "DJ" with the Radio FM transmitter. Plugged in with the charger would it be able to transmit continuously for 8 hours ( I dont want to burn it =D ). Further more I would also like to buy a MicroSD Card , a Sandisk Ultra 32gb ANDROID. What does the Android stand for? On Sandisk's site it says it is specially designed for Android phones. Does it mean I cannot use it with my N8  ( Belle OS ) ? I dont wanna spend 60$ for something useless. Some guys said I can "Format" the MicroSD to get rid of the "application for Android" located on the MicroSD. What do you think? Thanks!
    Sorry for making this long but I decided to ask everything in one post. Cheers!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi Universal11,
    Thanks for your post and welcome to the forum!
    You will be able to listen to music on your N8 without charging for 6-7 hours, try not to use any other applications on your phone at the same time as this will drain the battery faster. For the best result, switch your phone to the Offline mode. You can do this by short pressing the power button and selecting Offline. 
    To ensure full compatibility, use an SD card with a minimum of Class 4 and a maximum of Class 6. The memory card limit is 32GB.
    Playing music with the Radio FM transmitter for 8 hours in a row won't be a problem. The phone will heat up, but it won't damage the device. Do make sure you're using a Nokia charger to make sure it gets charged correctly.
    Hope this clears things up.

  • Purchasing music from other sites

    I have tried to purchase music from other sites such as Tesco Music. In all cases they all require Internet Explorer! Having just switched from a Windows bases pc to an iMac I do not wish to go backwards. How can I buy music from other than iTunes?

    If you are referring to Tesco's digital downloads, those are available only in copy-protected Windows Media format and cannot be played on a Mac. Other than the iTunes Store, only those download stores offering tracks in MP3 are Mac-compatible. I'm not sure if there are any available from the UK yet that are carrying major-label content.

  • How to include user selected music in a site?

    I saw Cory's response from April 2012 and was wondering if any progress has been made in including music to a site.
    I would like to have a "bank" of music (mp3's) sorted by era (40's, 50's, 60's, etc,etc) that a user could select & play individual songs as desired. This would be similar in concept to many of the current media players.
    The thought of arranging them in a table or list comes to mind. If the ability of Muse hasn't improved to handle this type of function beyond Cory's answer, is there another approach?

  • Nokia Music Application Mp3 Downloads fail

    I bought a song using the Nokia Music application on my Lumia 920. The first attempt to download started and then stopped within a second of starting. No sign of any sort of progress bar. Mind you, this would be the first time I tried downloading with the Nokia Music application. I tried again and that failed as well. I find this to be poor application design. The download service in the application should be more robust and should only report a song as being downloaded when it is completely downloaded and not just when the download just about got started.
    This sort of thing will steer me clear of using Nokia Music in the future. I still don't have my song. Before anyone suggests to try the web site from PC I did that too and it seems that I used all of my retry downloads for that song.
    This is very poor. I use my cellphone primarily to listen to music as I am not one of those that needs to be wired 24/7 and as such I sometimes buy a song on a whim.

    hi mate,
    you are always welcome to leave feedback directly with Nokia regarding your experiences with Nokia Music via clicking the Nokia Support link at the bottom of this page.

  • Audio stutters when listening to music on U410

    I have a U410 ultrabook (purchased in Nov. 2012) which has been working fine until a couple weeks ago. Almost any time I try to listen to music now (either online with internet radio or locally with mp3s), the sound will stutter and skip. This happens about once a minute.
    I haven't installed any new software or changed drivers lately, but the computer does seem to be slowing down a bit compared to when it was brand new.

    Are you using WMP? I have a similar-ish issue, where if I play mp3's from my hard disks, and skip forward and click next a couple of times, WMP can lock-up for a few secs. In task manager I see it stick on 98% while it does this. Playing music from CD etc works fine, just from hard drives (SATA/IDE all the same). But if I use winamp I dont get this annoyance.
    Using latest drivers from realtek, and everything else for this mobo. No other programs or applications running at the same time.

  • Use iPod as hard disk & listen to music?

    Is it possible to use your iPod as a Hard Disk & be able to listen to the music on it?
    Like, if you wanna save your music JUST INCASE your computer crashes ALL OF A SUDDEN, but you still want to be able to listen to music and enjoy your iPod & not just have it sitting there as an extra hard drive.
    Does anybody know if it is possible to do both?
    And if so, How?
    5th Generation 30GB   Windows XP  

    Wrong.
    Of course you can use your ipod as a hard disk as well as using it as an iPod to play music. There is nothing wrong with this at all.
    There is one downside. The content will take up twice as much space on your iPod.
    You'll need to sync your content to the iPod using itunes -AND- copy it manually to another folder using the iPod as a hard disk.
