Media player into Aux input on car stereo

Hi,
Blackberry Pearl 8100
I would like to use the media player in my car. My car stereo has an Aux input and I use it with a removable DVD viewer, it works well. I have bought 2 x 3.5mm to 2.5mm adapters (the 2nd and 4th items here http://www.maplin.co.uk/Search.aspx?menuno=13259) but neither of them work. Plugging the lead into the device doesn't divert the sound from the speakerphone or handset in the same way plugging in headphones does. If I wiggle the connectors about, it will come and go in one channel (left) of the stereo, but not in any consistent or useful way.
It has been suggested in one other thread ( http://www.blackberryforums.com.au/forums/blackberry-pearl-smartphone-discussion/1242-playing-music-... )that there could be an issue with the Aux input itself and the signal from the device is not high enough to drive the Aux but that isn't consistent with the sound levels that I get out of it when I wiggle the connectors.
I have checked the vehicle manufacturer manual for the audio unit and I can't find the impedance of the Aux imput or specification of it, but its a Sony 6CD audio unit.
Can anyone shed any light on my problem? I have tried X Player over my handsfree Parrot, but the music sounds like a phonecall (unsurprisingly :-)
Help, please..
Gareth

the manual says "an equipment such as a portable audio player can be connected to the aux input terminal using a commercially available mini plug (3.5).
I'm almost positive that is what I bought.

Problem with import files from windows media player into iTunes

When I have tried to import my .wav lossless files created under windows media player into iTunes I use File, add folder to library but when the action is completed I get all of the files under the heading 'unknown album' with 'unknown artist'.
Does anyone know that I need to do in order to include the artist and album ?
Many thanks,
John.

You'll first need to add the MP3s to your iTunes library since the iPod is not compatible with Windows Media Player. You can use, for example, the File > Add to Library menu to do this.

After an update, my touch is no longer recognized by iTunes or USB input on car stereo

Formerly I was able to connect my touch to both iTunes (Windows) and through USB on my car stereo (Kenwood). After updating the touch's IOS I cannot connect to either. I am able to connect to the car stereo through blue tooth. I did open an iCloud account for the touch but I doubt that is a factor. I have tried turning the unit completely off and that does not help. I uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled it making certain I used the 64-bit version. It is still not recognized. Any ideas on what to try next?

As it turns out, this was a hardware failure. One of the pins on the bottom connector was bent and caused the problem. What burns me is the problem initially showed itself after updating to ios 5.0.1. I tried a reset over the weekend (including deleletion of my entire music collection) to no avail. I took it in to the local Apple store today and they essentially turned it into a paper weight. After putting it into recovery mode the unit would no longer turn on at all. Unfortunately they wouldn't replace the unit for free because it was 11 days out of warranty. I could have lived with the Touch with all my music on it, but it was worthless after the music was deleted. I feel like they should have replaced it for free. I was planning on upgrading to the next iPhone but this has shaken my confidence (as well as irritating the living **** out of me).
To be fair, Apple did replace the player at a reduced rate. That was better than nothing.

Aux input to car radio issue

I have a Sony radio in my car. And I connected my Xperia Z3 compact into the aux input, using a 3.5mm jack to jack. One side goes into my headphones jack and the other goes into the radio.
And annoyingly, the sound quality is bad. I get popping noises and like whistle sound and cracking noises. And it's driving me nuts because I can't listen to my music in peace.
Sad part about this is that every other device I've tried works fine, just my new Xperia that is having the issue. It was fine with an iPhone 5s and this other samsung phone I had. Which makes zero sense because the radio is also Sony, so it should work perfect with my Sony Xperia.
So frustrating, can anyone help please.

The 5-pole jack is compatible with 3/4-pole accessories (you can for example connect standard headphones without a microphone) but i remember a case where a user had a cable where the size of each pole was different compared to other 3-pole cables which could cause issues. If you hold the 3.5mm plug of these cables next to eachother, does the poles have the same size/placement?
Did you use the same cable when you tried the dock radio?
It could also be that the phone is having issues sensing that it's connected to another device. I'm not sure but i believe this depends on impedance. What happens if you force the output using an app like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.woodslink.android.wiredheadphoneroutingfix?

Putting music from Media Player into iTunes???

So....I just recently bought my Nano. I have lots of songs on my computer (that I put on there from my CDs) in Windows Media Player 10. When I connected to iTunes (to put music on my iPod) some of my previous songs from Media Player were put into iTunes, yet there are still LOTS of songs not in the iTunes Library. And I don't think that they didn't transfer because they are "protected", it has to be something else. I've tried dragging, copying, nothing is 'allowed'. I've gone to about every window, menu, and help/support site in both iTunes and Windows Media Player. This is almost a last resort.
Thank you SO much if you have ANY information at all!!!

I'm having the same problem, can someone help us?????

When I put the audio CDs I burned through Windows Media Player into my drive, it says disk is blank.

I am using a Presario CQ61. I have burned audio CDs with Windows Media Player on my computer. Upon completion, when I try to playback the CD in my disk drive for the computer, it asks what I would like to do with the blank disk. However, this same CD plays just fine in my stereo, as well as on my roommates Presario CQ61 disk drive. We have the exact same computer except mine has a webcam and hers doesn't. I don't understand why these disks will play everywhere except on the computer that was used to create the disk! I am so frustrated! I have updated my drivers. I have also disabled and re-enabled the Windows Media Player. I even went as far as restoring my computer to factory settings. What else can I do to fix this problem??

Which brand of discs u used??\
tried any other brand??

How do i get my music files from my media player into i-tunes?

i have tried to import my music from my old windows media player and it wont do anything. i just got my first ipod. i dont want to have to duplicate all the music on my computer twice just to have it in my itunes player?!?! please help!

I have also tried to use Window Mieda Player to import my music. Only iTunes can import music to you iPod. If your iPod came with a cd to install drivers for it, It will also have iTunes on it. I am sorry. By the way, congradulations on your first iPod!

Sample to embed Adobe Media Player into html

Hello everyone,
I have searched for quite some time but can not find a simple sample to tell how to write a simple html page which could embed an Adobe Media Player and play a local music?
Any samples?
thanks in advance,
George

Just an idea...Maybe it would be better to add music through your editing html software - you can add music within background tab. Heres the code...place in html on page.
change musicfile.wav to the name of your file.

Embedding Strobe Media Player into Websites

Hello,
I am using the Strobe Media Player and want to have it so that using visiting my website can copy an embed code and use the player in their site.
Does Strobe Media Player have this capability or do I need to build it in myself?
Thanks

Hi,
this functionality is not present in the player itself, but you can use the code from the setup.html page that uses JS to generate the embed code from a set of parameters as a starting point.

Playlists from windows media player into itunes.

I used import playlist and it doesnt work. Like my computer doesnt even register that i clicked that. Help please!

Open itunes.
First go to the edit menu, select preferences, click the advanced tab, and select importing.For best song capacity on the ipod, make sure that the encoder is set to "Import using AAC encoder", and "High quality 128 kbps". Hit OK.
Then go to file menu, go to "add file to library" or if its a whole folder go to "add folder to library". Go through folders to find the songs (usually in "My Music" )
Select the song or songs you want to add, then hit open. To select more than one song from a folder, click the first one, hold shift, then click the last song you want to select.
A box will come up saying "one or more of the files you are adding are wma files",click ok and itunes will convert them into aac format (this could take a while if you have a number of songs).
It should be noted that this will only work with unprotected WMA files, not ones bought off of the windows media store or imported to windows media with protection.
Hope this helps

How do I get music already on my laptop on (amazon, Emodio, Windows media player) into my itunes library, I have just done the icloud match as I thought this would do it for me, but the only songs on my phone are the 40 that I already had in itunes..

How do I get music already on my laptop into my itunes account library? I have just done the icloud match thinking this would pick them all up, but it hasn't, all it has done is match the 40 songs I already have in my itunes library. I wanted to get some more music onto my iphone and I am stuck. If someone could assist, that would be great. Thanks. Sue

Convert Windows Media Player playlist into iTunes??????

How can I convert all of my playlists that I have saved in Windows Media Player into iTunes??? nothing is working!!

Yes, though as I recall iTunes wants absoulte file paths. You either need to edit the playlist before import or use a script I wrote called ImportM3U which, as a bonus, can convert any unprotected WMA files on the fly and add them to the playlist.
BTW, if you're going to try to get WMP & iTunes to share playlists you'd better disable any options for automatically organizing files. See Getting iTunes & Windows Media Player to play nicely for more info.

Best way to connect my iPod to my car stereo?

My iTrip is a joke. What works best when wanting to connect my iPod directly to my car stereo when I must use the CD changer plug-in behind the stereo?

Kind of depends on what kind of stereo you have and
what options it has... is your stereo an aftermarket
stereo? Are you saying that you already have a cd
changer plugged into the aux input on your stereo?
I have an CD changer plug in on the back of my stereo, but there is nothing currently plugged into it. It's a stock radio with only a CD player, not a cassette. I need to plug something into the back of the radio, but I don't know which is the best kind to get. Thanks for the help.
