MP3 will not play once site is published

HELP!
Here's the issue:
Once I publish my site (to folder or .mac) the audio file I put on my site will not play when double clicked.
Here's how I created it:
From Finder I drag the MP3 onto my web site (in iWeb 08) where it gives me a Quicktime box that says "Drag Image Here". I drag an image (tried jpg and gif) to it and it embeds fine. I use the Quicktime inspector to de-select "Show media controller".
In iWeb, when I double click on the image it plays the MP3. When I publish it (to a folder or .mac) it won't play the MP3 when double clicked. I've emptied Safari's cache and tried it on FireFox with the same result. Per the help file, I'm doing everything right and it says:
Quote "Show movie controller: Select to provide visitors with playback controls (pause, fast forward, and so on). If you deselect this checkbox and deselect Autoplay, your visitors can play the movie or audio by double-clicking it."
If I set it to autoplay it does work.
So what the heck is wrong!!!!????

You need click the "Provide iWeb Feedback" in the iWeb drop down menu and let them know about this one.
I would never have thought of setting up an audio file like this anyway. Some people seem to have difficulty finding the "play" button - how are they going to think of double clicking?

  • Unprotected MP3s will not play

    I have quite a few unprotected MP3 files that I imported into iTunes after recording some LPs into my computer. Many of these files will not play at all after being imported into iTunes. It is not the easiest thing in the world to make these MP3s so I'm wondering if there is any way to fix them, or if I need to make them again how can I protect them. Winamp could play these files before I imported them into iTunes but now it will not recognize them as MP3 files.

    It's possible that the headers on the problem tracks may be corrupted (this can happen with some MP3 conversion or import utilities). If you search the web for "mp3 repair" you'll find a number of repair tools. Here's one I've seen mentioned:
    VBRfix.
    I haven't tried any of the versions of this, so I can't attest to how well (or indeed if) they work.
    Hope this helps.

  • Video slides in Captivate 7 that will not play once published

    Hello,
    I recently created an eLearning within Captivate 7  that contains several video slides.  When published, the video slides no longer work and instead have a spinning wheel that will not go away.  Does anyone have any suggestions?  I really don't want to redo the video slides.
    Thanks,
    Wendyl

    Hi there
    Once you publish your files, they *SHOULD* be on your local hard drive. And it's odd, but things behave differently when you play them from your local hard drive than they will once you copy them to the Web Server that all your end users will be accessing the content from.
    What was suggested was to copy the files to that Web Server and test from there to see if the issue persists.
    Cheers... Rick

  • FLV files not playing once AIR is published

    Hi,
    I'm devloping an AIR application in Flash CS5 and man I'm having fun!
    My current problem has to do with Flash videos that aren't playing once the Air file is published.  In the development environment they play fine but all f my rpoblems with Air seem to occur after publishing,  I did code the playing a bit differently than usual in that I passed the relative path to the video file once it was playing.  Are relative paths ok in Air?
    I'd appeciate any advice.
    Best regards,
    Chris McLaughlin

    The solution lied in using an absolute path to the video files using: appPathStr
    videoURL = appPathStr + "/SubdirectoryName/videoName.flv"

  • Certain MP3s will not play on my iPod despite reset, mp3 conversion, resetting tags, etc.  What gives?

    I had this problem with my last iPod too but it's particularly egregious this time around.  These are mp3s that I ripped from my own CDs and that worked for a while and then just stopped.  It's several thousand (my iPod is 120 GB and I'm a serious music fan).  This is super annoying and I'd like to find a way to fix it.  It will play songs and then just skip some.  If it is shuffling, it also fails to register the song that was played previously? 
    This has been an issue for several years with multiple iPod models.  Someone has to have some kind of explanation?  Please?

    You haven't mentioned re-registering the DLL's in windows xp which is the suggested fix on Windows XP for ipod's doing this.
    Disconnect the iPod from the computer and close iTunes.
    Copy the 10 lines below (highlight and ctrl+c or right-click and copy)
    regsvr32 /s softpub.dll
    regsvr32 /s wintrust.dll
    regsvr32 /s dssenh.dll
    regsvr32 /s rsaenh.dll
    regsvr32 /s gpkcsp.dll
    regsvr32 /s sccbase.dll
    regsvr32 /s slbcsp.dll
    regsvr32 /s mssip32.dll
    regsvr32 /s cryptdlg.dll
    regsvr32 /s initpki.dll
    Open notepad:
    1. Start>Run
    2. Type 'notepad'
    3. Hit return
    Paste the text into notepad (ctrl+v or right-click and paste)
    Save the file as registerdll.bat on your desktop
    Close notepad
    Doubleclick the registerdll.bat file on the desktop
    A command prompt will appear and these items will be processed. When it is finished you can delete the batch file.
    See if it then syncs okay.

  • Muse site will not play mp3 files on iOS devices

    I'm testing my new/first site using Muse CC 2014 and finding that audio files (MP3) will not play on iOS 7.x devices.I am using the MP3 Player plug-in from Musethemes.com. They have yet to respond to my support request 3 days ago so I am hoping someone here might have encountered the same issue. What alternatives would you suggest?

    Never mind everyone. Musethemes got back to me. The issue is the link for each MP3 file points to assets/filename.mp3 in the desktop version but since the tablet and phone versions have their own sub-directories the link needs to properly point to the parent directory where the assets folder is located i.e. ../assets/filename.mp3. On to the next adventure.

  • Firefox for Android will not play mp3

    Hi! Why does Firefox for Android will not play mp3? For example the tracks on this page do not play http://audiobook-online.com/?page_id=33 . Firefox for windows plays mp3.
    Alexander

    Hello,
    I've just tested and the mp3s on that page work fine for me. When I first visited the site I see a prompt at the top of the screen: "This page contains plugin content. Would you like to enable plugins".
    I clicked Activate and the audio played fine.
    If the pop-up doesn't appear then you can try enabling plugins across all pages. See here:
    [[How do I watch Flash videos with Firefox for Android?|Play Flash Content Without Tapping]]
    But be aware that there are security implications with this option. It is safer to keep flash as tap-to-play. There is more information on this in the article.
    I hope that helps.

  • I have a MAC running Maverick. MP3 sounds will not play in Safari or FireFox, but will play if you download the file locally to the Desktop. How to resolve this?

    I have a MAC running Maverick. MP3 sounds will not play in Safari or FireFox, but will play if you download the file locally to the Desktop. How to resolve this?

    You probably have an internet plugin installed that is preventing the MP3s from playing. I just checked a site with an MP3, and it played, rather than downloaded.
    The internet plugin folders are at:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins and
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    (~/Library is hidden by default. Let me know if you don't know how to access it.)
    My internet plugins were all in /Library; there were none in ~/Library.
    Try moving these folders to the desktop (don't delete them), restarting, and then seeing if the MP3s play.
    They it will be trial and error to see which plugin is responsible.

  • Creative MediaSource will not play certain MP3

    I have a Creative Audigy 2 NX with a remote that I really want to be able to use. Programs such as GIRDER, WinLIRC, and uICE do not support the RM-500 remote control.
    I can't figure out how to control the remote beyond editing and creating key files that send ASCII commands, but the problem with that is I cannot control programs that are not currently acti've. In other words, I cannot control winamp if I'm playing a game with my remote, which is what I want to do. The KEY files are structured as this:[KeyEvent690 etc]KeyName=whateveryouwantdisplayedNotification=- or 2 or 4KeyEventRemap=this is the important partHandleByApp=i don't know what this doesAnyway, if I set notification to -, I can send ASCII commands-- BUT these will not send to programs not currently on top. If I set notification to 2, as Creative did in their Winamp .x key file, I could control the program even if it is not on top-- BUT I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE KeyEventRemaps NUMBERS SHOULD BE. I cannot find this information, and I have tested as far as I am capable of doing manually (tested numbers through 500 MANUALLY).So what I want to be able to do is use my remote to control winamp, but that is impossible. And Creative MediaSource will not play streaming audio (for God knows why...). So what I decided to do was record to an MP3 player with a third party program and play that MP3 in the Creative MediaSource software (the built-in recorder will NOT work, as I cannot structure that into a playlist nor can I play the recording media nor can I minimize the program and mute the feedback-- I can only record if I'm playing, and this doesn't work). The first problem I encountered was several programs would not output MP3s that were playable as they were being recorded, however I finally did find one. This program, 3aLab iRadio, allows the MP3 to be played back WHILE simultaneously being recorded. The only problem is that this the Creative MediaSource software will NOT play the mp3. Out of the 5 different MP3 players I tested, ONLY the Creative MediaSource software would not playback the MP3 as being written. I cannot figure this out, and I am at a loss as to what to do next. I realize that Creative won't support streaming audio with their player, MediaSource, but what I like to do is listen to streaming internet radio as an item on my mp3 playlist in winamp. I wish to be able to control this with my remote, but as I cannot find ANY WAY out there to control my remote as I wish without further information, this is a dead end. My alternati've is to use the Creative software for which the remote was designed to work, but unfortunately this does not support streaming internet radio nor does it support MP3s that are being written to. This is driving me insane.
    What I want to be able to do is have a playlist that I control with my remote, with the first item on the list being internet radio, the 2nd and such on down being MP3s. In winamp, this is doable, as well as in Windows Media Player, and most MP3 players out there. Since I cannot do this in Creative's software, I need a workaround alternati've. PLEASE.
    So, in conclusion, is there anyone out there who can either tell me how to control my remote directly by identifying what the notification=2 keyeventremap=configuarions are, give me a program like girder however which supports the RM-500 remote, or tell me how to get MP3s that are being written to (aka incomplete) to play in the Creative MediaSource software?
    Thank you very much for your time.

  • I have audio books as mp3 files.  They will not play on our Ipad.  Is there a conversion I need to do?

    We have audio books that are converted to mp3 files. They will not play on our 2-year old Ipad. What can I do to make them compatible?
    Les

    Hi - what I neglected to include in the question is that the book was uploaded on Google Drive.  It sounds like I will need to make the book a playlist and upload it.
    Thank you for the response.

    It is Correct for your Current OS = Leopard = 10.5.8
    The first step in Upgrading... is to Snow Leopard = OS X 10.6.x

    Have 60 gig ipod classic will power up will go to songs but will not play any songs just sits there on 0 I can fast foreword but it still will not do a thing just sits at new spot in song and will not play , help please.

    Update!
    This is what I did to fix both the skipping songs problem and the iPod verifying forever & not able to restore problem (because of iTunes 9):
    a) I used Disk Utility to reformat my iPod while in Disk Mode using the instructions here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1363?viewlocale=en_US
    and here:
    http://www.methodshop.com/gadgets/ipodsupport/erase/index.shtml#backup
    b) Do not unplug your iPod after reformatting (mine showed up as a firewire disk) - simply launch iTunes ( I went back to 8.2) and follow the Restore instructions here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1339
    iPod is recognized, syncs and doesn't skip songs anymore after that miserable experience with iTunes 9!!!
