Mp3 playback in QT

I have an avi that used mp3 to encode the audio. The movie does not have any audio when i play it. I've done some research and it seems that QT does not support mp3. Is this right??
Is there any work around for this? Maybe a dummy codec or something?

mp3 is supported, at least in XP (don't know about vista yet. In QuickTime's Control Panel go to browser> mime types and check mp3 - it isn't checked by default. Secondly the same needs to be done under file types tab. (system file types). Also on both, be sure that under MPEG system types (just above mp3) make sure MPEG audio is checked, and MPEG media - take no chances.
If all else fails, go to http://www.codecs.com and download the 'K-Lite Mega Codec Pack' and install it. You'll need to add the MPEG audio splitters and additional MPEG codecs (I use the ones from Gabest Technology). Then try playing in Media Player or a decent 3rd party player that uses the codecs.
I personally use RealPlayer and/or VLC player which do an admirable job.

Player 10 - Slow and Distorted MP3 Playback.

I began experiencing this problem once I download Flash
Player 10. The mp3 playback is slow and sounds very distorted.
This only seems to occur with mp3s at a 48k sample rate. Mp3s
at a sample rate of 44.1k sound normal. Is there a way to fix this
without converting the sample rate? Is Adobe working on a solution?
Thank you.

I'm getting the same thing. Are all of you on Apple platform? It seems to be the only place this is showing up.
Macbook Pro - OSX 10.5.6
When I uninstall flash player and reinstall 9 it works fine. On another not when using CS4 at work the same thing happens locally when I test the movies.
It's sounds like music on nitrous in hell. .. . .

E55 - improve sound on mp3 playback?

mp3 playback on my E55 is dissappointing; you need to add Bass enhancement just to get a flat frequency response and the music lacks detail even on simplet tracks.
I know it's not a dedicated mp3 player/'comes with music'/Walkman phone but how can I improve music playback?
- Is eACC format easier on the processor?
- Is there a 3rd party mp3/ACC player for E55 that sounds better?

I should have explained;
- Yes, I'm using same pair of headphones to compare same tracks played back on E55 and laptop. Laptop is satisfactory and I'm used to what it 'sounds' like, E55 mp3 player is poor.
- Source is mp3 so ACC/eACC would require an additional conversion (rather than ripping CDs to ACC in the first place).
Seperate headphone amp is nice idea, but my sound quality expectations aren't quite that high for a phone. Would only bother with headphone amp for CD line output or similar cheers.
Further testing;
- Internet Radio on E55 is quite acceptable and dosn't need any bass re-infocement. I conclude the problem is with the mp3 playing software on E55 or the source mp3 - not the S60 OS or E55 hardware.
- Playing further albums on proved that BOTH the laptop and E55 did justice other mp3 and WMAs including Opera, Rock and Dance.
Conclusion: "The Haçienda - Acid House Classics" mp3 album is a bit quite and not a great source. But the E55 still needs bass turned on for the music player (but not Internet Radio!) so could be solved with a software update.
Other sources sound as good as you could expect on the E55: rubbish in ribbish out.
Now to see if converting from mp3/WMA to ACC/eACC can actually improve the sound. I used to think it impossible to improve a signal with additional processing, but my Sony Hard Disk TV Recorder actually plays back better than the original(!) so maybe converting to ACC will to.

MP3 Playback

I'm having issues trying to get MP3 playback capability on my Arch x86 - Xfce4 install. I have all of the gstreamer plugins installed and my sound card is configured properly (I can listen to audio in swiftfox), but Banshee Audacious and Totem will not play MP3 files. Has anyone seen a situation like mine? I have not found one after taking some time to search these forums. Thanks in advanced for any help.

[root@celestary wengophone-ng-svn]# pacman -Qs MP3
local/lame 3.97-1
An MP3 encoder and graphical frame analyzer
local/mpg321 0.2.10-2
A commandline mp3 player
local/python-eyed3 0.6.12-1
A Python module and program for processing information about mp3 files
local/ripperx 2.7.0-1
GTK program to rip and encode mp3 files
Here it works perfectly. libmad and lame should be sufficient.
OGG media plays flawlessly?

Stop Streaming MP3 Playback

Is there an action script to stop the streaming mp3 playback
in a proceeding frame navigated to?

SM6601,

If that sound is initiated by ActionScript (e.g. an instance
of the
Sound class), the Sound.stop() method will do it. If not, you
can always
try the stopAllSounds() function.

Palm Pre - MP3 Playback skips

Haven't had any troubles with mp3 playback on my Palm Pre until yesterday. Every song I listen to skips intermittently.
Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

I only had 2 or 3 other cards open at the time of the malfunction (gps, email, phone, and music player). Would that be enough to cause this? I understand that memory is memory, but since multitasking is the cornerstone of the device's design philosophy I think it's fair to expect 4 or so apps to all work at the same time.
That said, I usually have something closer to 8 apps open, and that has never affected my listening experience.

Gstreamer mp3 playback broken

When I tried to play some mp3's today via Clementine, gstreamer gave me "data flow error"(everything worked yesterday,lol) , and then, when I reinstalled all possible gstreamer plugins(except "ugly") mp3 playback didn't change at all, some mp3 files were played but with (:03, :06, :09 second speed) like it is jumping, no sound of course. Does anybody know how to fix it, and why is this happening?

Instantaneous MP3 playback...

MP3 playback used to begin immediately even with very large files, but no longer does. What am I missing? It seems there may be some type of "helper" file for other browsers (read Safari, Chrome & Opera) that isn't being taken advantage of to facilitate this "starting play before the download is complete" type of thing...

The playback time would vary based on any number of factors:
Temperature, volume, other operations, how long the screen is on, how many times you change the volume, eq settings, if airplane mode is on or off, any calls, e-mails, push on or push off, how often to fetch mail, screen brightness, 3g on or off, wi-fi on or off, location service on or off,etc.
The 24 hours is based on a specific situation and is not likely to be reproduced with normal use.
Just use it and see what you get.

Mp3 playback battery life /w headphones

Does anyone know if the mp3 playback time changes if your using a set of headphones, or is the 24 hours assuming you are using headphones?

MP3 playback cutouts, Firefox plug-in

I've got Firefox 3.5, with QuickTime selected as the MP3 playback plugin. When I click on an MP3 link targeted at a dedicated browser window, Quicktime comes up to play it back. Unless I keep that window in the foreground, and keep sending it events (e.g., hovering the mouse cursor over it and moving it around), the playback audio cuts out. Quicktime's progress indicator proceeds, but there's no audio unless I move the cursor over the window again.
This happens on TWO different machines (including a MacBook Pro with Windows XP under BootCamp, and a Dell Inspiron 530 with Windows Vista).
Is this a known bug? Are there any solutions other than installing an MP3 playback plugin other than Quicktime?

So, after 2 weeks without any response, how do I report this as a bug, and somehow get Apple to look into this?

Has anyone experienced this? Slow MP3 playback in Flash player

I'm wondering if anyone has experienced the issue I'm having...
Some of the mp3s that I'm pulling into my Flash/XML audio player, of songs created in Garageband, are playing at a slower pitch.
Because It only happens to some MP3s it makes me think that it's not Flash but something to do with the MP3. The one thing they all have in common is that they were all songs that were created in Garageband, then exported to iTunes as an AIF and then converted to MP3. I have yet to experience a problem with songs that I've downloaded or ripped from CDs.
Here's the link to the player and two songs. Both songs were done in Garageband and converted to MP3 the exact same way, yet while the first songs plays fine, the second plays back much slower that it's source.

Below are the direct links to the MP3s so you can see that the source MP3 plays fine on its own.

I've also posted on Adobe's forum. What do you guys think?
Thanks.

Sorry for misleading information.
The first song indeed plays fine and the second Does Not. I
was checking the first one
all the way.
Anyhow, I still keep up with my Sample Rate suggestion.
Flash has preference when comes to sound:
best to use 16-bit 22 kHz mono sounds (stereo uses twice as
much data as mono),
Flash can import either 8- or 16-bit sounds at sample rates
of 11, 22, or 44 kHz.
Other samples rates result in playback problems.
The first Mp3 is 44Khz just as flash likes it, the second one
is 48Khz
I believe changing it to 44 will solve your problem. Try it
please and let me know.
Best Regards

Are there any known problems with Macs and the mp3 playback in Adobe Connect ?

One user using an Apple Mac has complained of not being able to hear the mp3 sound playback in a meeting.
Is this a problem with Apple Mac and mp3 compatibility or is it an individual soundcard issue ?

I use several Macs with Adobe Connect and I have even created MP3 files for playback in the room. Works fine on all my macs. It's basic Flash. Suggest they clear their browser cache, replace their host-add-in if using one. Run the audio wizard as well to make sure sound is working in Connect.
All of the Adobe Connect Government engineers use Macs all the time so we've never had an issue with MP3's.

MP3 playback clips and skips

Hi, using the media player that comes with the curve to play MP3 from the micro SD card the playback clips about once every 3 seconds and often jumps to the next song, anyone here of a fix for that?
Z
Solved!
Go to Solution.

First try doing a battery pull while the device is on, leave out for 30 sec. Re-insert and wait the 1-3 min boot up time. Go right to media player and try to play somethig. It may be that it's low on memory.

Mp3 playback volume tech question...

why is it that audio files (mp3 files) playback at a louder volume when using a client-side player like iTunes or Media Player than they do when playing thru a flash built audio player?
thanks in advance for any replies.

3GS: Ipod MP3 Playback via Bluetooth (Audi A4 Speakerphone)

Hi folks,
i have an Iphone 3gs. Connecting to my Audi Speakerphone works fine. Could phone with the hands free set very excelent. What i wanted to know is, could i also playback MP3 files via Bluetooth. Using ipod on my iphone brings no audio output in my car. Strange, because when i do an audio memo on the iphone, i can listen it via my speakerphone set in my car.
is there a trick to get running ipod output via bluetooth on the iphone ?
thanks for information.
greets
werner

I've noticed this lately as well, with my iPhone 4. I couldn't confidently pin it directly on any particular iOS update, but my iPhone used to automatically connect up via Bluetooth with my Prius's handsfree feature, and now it doesn't. I work with a CE-based device at my job, with Bluetooth capability, and I used to test out that feature by having it discover my iPhone. This no longer works either.
What I have found (not really a solution, but it does work and may be a clue for Apple) is that if I simply go to the Settings app then the General -> Bluetooth screen and let it sit there, it will pair right up with my car within a few seconds. Bluetooth is always on, and always says "Now Discoverable" at the bottom of the settings screen.
