My Nokia 5130 won't play *.aac files

I have a Nokia 5130 and I filled the microSD with 306 aac music files, then the phone says "Updating Library" and sends the message that 306 files has been added and updated in the music library, but then when I try to play one of those files it won´t play, and it keeps going from one file to the other as if I keep pressing Next every time. I tried resseting factory settings but it didn't work. Now I don't know if it doesn't work because all the files are .aac or if I have to convert them all to .mp3.
Thank you for your help.
Greetings.
Uli.

I don’t know if you have tried this, but I use OSX on a Mac and when i add songs (in .MP3 format) my Nokia 5130 does the same thing you described by skipping the file to the next song, however it only does this until it’s reached the last ‘duplicate’ of the song. (if you have 300 odd songs, you may not have let it cycle through to the end of the song list)
When I add songs to the 5130 it seems to make a duplicate file of the song which is just a dud, but when I look at the song title on the phone the ‘duds’ all start with “._” for example “._Led Zepplin” but when I scroll down I eventually reach the real file simply called “Led Zepplin” then the phone will play the actual song correctly.
I don’t know where the duds come from but they don’t appear on my computer when adding files so I assume its done when the nokia updates its library. I just make playlists and add the ‘real’ song files and skip all the duds - so it’s a quick work around, but annoying. Maybe this is happening with your .aac files too.
PS. A quick test of this would be to go to the music menu - All songs - then push the up button which would take you to your last song alphabetically on your phone (so you don’t have to scroll through 300 dud songs) so might be quicker to scroll backwards to test.

MPD won't play AAC files from Streamripper

I'm having some problems playing AAC files created by streamripper. The files play just fine in Mplayer. This is the output I get in .mpd/log:
faad: error decoding AAC stream: Invalid number of channels
After googling I got the impression this might be a DRM issue. I'm ripping a service I'm paying for (I only like about 80% of the music so I want to be able to skip tracks), so this seemed likely. On #mpd I was informed that mplayer wouldn't have played these files if they were DRM protected, so I've abandoned this line of investigation.
If I try to run one of these files through faad I get:
Error: Bitstream value not allowed by specification
Is this fixable?

It seems you just need to rebuild your mdp package, because mpd supports AAC via ffmpeg but new ffmpeg libs released yesteraday and you still have mpd built for old ffmpeg's libs.
Use ABS for this and if all will be ok then report bug.
I have the same problem from yesterday but with the moc https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/31743
Doesn't the log message indicate that MPD uses faad to decode AAC file and not ffmpeg? A new version of MPD came right out after your post; it did not solve my problem. For now I'm manually converting the files from AAC to ogg in order to play them, using the latest version of ffmpeg.

Nokia 5800 won't play flv files

I've had my 5800 for about half a year. My Software version is V31.2.101 (this is the most up-to-date version I can have according to my Nokia Software Updater)
For some reason when I try to play flv files (approx. 30-100mb), a completely white screen shows up with a "broken" flashplayer symbol in the upper left corner.
What's wrong? How do I play flv files on my Nokia?
I've read in lots of places before that the 5800 can play flv files straight out of the box. =/ mine can't
btw, I can play mp4 files, but it's a pain because I have to convert the flv files first
and I have Adobe Flash Lite 3.1 installed. (atleast that's what it says when I select a video and go to "Options" - "About application")

As far as I was aware, the 5800 didn't play FLC - it certainly isn't listed here:
http://www.forum.nokia.com/Devices/Device_specifications/5800_XpressMusic/
However, even if it was possible, it may depend on the way the FLVs were encoded - things like the frame rate could cause playback incompatibilities.

How to get Music Player to play AAC files and show...

I feel the need, the need to share my recent experiences with you! Firstly to restate the already known facts: The Nokia Audio Manager in PC Suite is incapable of reading any tags as far as I have seen, from a tag (AAC/MP3) or from a CD itself and it crashes on my pc after sending 2 albums to my phone or on initialising once the phone has 2 albums already on it - so I've binned that. iTunes creates .m4a files which are AAC files but in mp4 containers with mp4 tags. The N70 will play AAC files and read ID3 tags up to v2.3 Here's how to get musak on your N70 with tags and artwork. 1. get yourself copies of dbpoweramp 11.5, their AAC codec (the Release 5 one) and The Godfather and install them 2. Go into the dbpoweramp config, select the ID tag tab and change the tag to ID3V2 for AAC. check the version field is set to v2.3 3. Use Poweramp's CD Input to rip a CD (you can specify under options to use AAC (Advanced Audio Coding (CLI)), you can custom the folder/filenames and set the bitrate (I use 100 BVR which creates files about the same size as MP3) 3.5. Rename any file that has an apostrohpe in the filename - removing the apostrophe - as the Music player will not read the tag 4. Go onto Amazon.com, find your CD and save the artwork image to your PC (create a folder for artwork) 5. Run The Godfather, select the folder containing the ripped album, click on the 'TAG' button, tick the picture box and click the button to it's right and browse for the .jpg file you just downloaded. then click on Update which will bring up the edit dialog, check that the picture is visible at bottom right and is ticked and then click 'Update All', then 'Sync' and then 'Exit'. Finally, click on the 'Apply' button 6. Transfer the folder to your My Music folder on the MMC 7. Run the Music Player and select Options-Update Collection 8. Now go into Albums and you should see your album title. Click on it and you should see all tracks. Click on a track and you should see, in the playing window, the artist & track and the artwork too. It has taken me weeks to get this far but for me, it is worth it. I hope this system works for you too Regards, Brian.

It sounds like a dud program. I would remove it (highlight its icon, then Options -> Remove). If you don't see a remove option, look for the program in the Application Manager.

I recently purchased QuickTime 7 Pro to convert avi files to mov files for editing on Imovie. However, QuickTime won't play the files. How can I get them to play and how can I convert them to mov files?

Both the AVI and the MOV file extensions refer to the file container and not the compressed data the file contains. Both are generic file containers in that each may contain any valid combination of audio and/or video data that is compatible with the codec component configuration of the system on which the file was created. On the other hand, whether a file is playback compatible, conversion compatible, and/or edit compatible depends on the data actually contained in the file container. So, you are basically dealing with two separate issues here—the container and what is inside it.
Basically, if you want to make your files ediit compatible with iMovie, you must change your file container to one that is acceptable to iMovie and convert the data to edit compatible audio and/or video compression formats as may be necessary. The best approach is to determine what codecs were actually used to create the original AVI files and add them to your system if possible. In most cases a codec package like Perian can be added to your system's codec component configuration to may the AVI file playable. Once they are playable, in the QT 7 app then they can be chnged or converted to file types and compression formats that can be edited in iMovie. (While Perian handles most codecs commonly used to create AVI files, it does not handle all possibilities and, while the Perian codec package still works under cureent Mac OS versions, its development group has decided to drop further development/support of the package.)
Background: AVI is a file container originally developed by Microsoft back in 1992 but for which official support was discontinued about 11 years. Despite its limitations, Windows users still tend to use this file based on its open source ease of use and generic nature, thus, making its use so popular that most users are unwilling to switch to more modern but less generic file types. Since some AVI legacy compression formats have never been transcoded for the Mac or use beyond OS 9 or OS X PPC platforms, it is often important to know what specific compression formats are contained in the AVI file to know which codecs to add to your system and which not to add in order to avoid possible codec conflicts.
You can use many different converters to convert AVI files to iMovie edit compatible files. Most third-party apps contain their own buit-in codecs which do not relay on the Mac codec component configuration. Free ones, like HandBrake, usually have limited conversion capabilities while those that have more varied outputs are usually commercial in nature and will cost you additional cash. QT 7 Pro or the free MPEG Streamclip app allow you to access you own system's component configuration and use any available codec component like DV, AIC, MPEG-4, H.264, Photo JPEG, etc.—all of which are iMovie compatible for editing purposes—but only after making the AVI file QT 7 player compatible.
In order to determine what compression formats wewre used in your AVI files you can
1) Try checking the Finder "Info" window,
2) Use the "Inspector", "Media Info", or "Properties" window of any player app that will open the file, or
3) Use a general media utility app like "MediaInfo" to read the file characteristics.

Front Row won't play .mp4 files

I just recently started using Front Row and, for some reason, it won't play .mp4 files. The said files are in my Movie folder and show up in Front Row's "Movies" menu, but when I try to play them it says "Selected video could not be played, format was not recognized."
Please help!!

iTunes only supports MP4s encoded using the Main Profile, but many MP4s that you can download from the web are encoded using High Profile. These need to be converted.
You can use an app like VideoSpec or MediaInfo to list the encoding characteristics of your MP4s.

HT5271 Downloaded latest Apple updates that informed me old versions of Adobe Flash Player were disabled and advised me to go to Adobe and down load latest version of Flash Player. Did that, but Flash Player won't play swf files, which it did before.

Downloaded latest Safari update that informed me that older versions of Adobe Flash Player were being disabled and then advised me to go to Adobe and down load latest version of Flash Player. Did that, but Flash Player won't play swf files, which it did before. (Instead of opening, it comes up as a page of code).

Hi..
Quit Safari.
Open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Advanced tab.

IOS 6.0.1 Safari won't play audio files. Error: "Cannot play audio file."

I recently updated my iPad to iOS 6.0.1, now Safari won't play audio files in any format. Error: "Cannot play audio file." Previously, it worked fine. I tried downloading and using GoogleChrome and Opera Mini, and these also won't play audio. What's up??

Solved the problem. It seems that once iOS 6.0.1 installed, it caused all of my browsers to mishandle audio files. When I reset the iPad, that cleared up the problem.
Before upgrading to iOS 6, my browsers would "autoplay" the sound files. After iOS 6, "autoplay" is disabled so you have to manually click play to play them.
Nonetheless, everything is working fine again except for "autoplay," which I can live with.

HT3775 Quicktime 10.2 (603.6), it won't play .AVI files

I have Quicktime 10.2 (603.6), it won't play .AVI files, tells me "file format isn't recognized" the above article says it does play .AVI files, what gives?

There isn't a codec installed which can handle that specific AVI file; AVI is a container, not a format. Try installing Perian.

QT won't play .mov files any more

After a complete system re-install, QT player won't play .mov files any more. It tells me, some components were missing. Hey, this is its own file format!
MPG files run OK.
Thanks a lot for a good idea!
Peter

What format are the videos that don't play.
WMV...Windowa Mwdi Videos you'll need the flip4mac component. Free trail:
http://www.telestream.net/flip4mac-wmv/overview.htm
Other codecs, Perian and it's free:
http://perian.org/
Flash videos like the one on youTube. Adobe Flash comonent and it's free.

You should download all three and install. Remember to rebuild your Permission after install any or all of the above.

Quicktime plays AAC files but iTunes won't

I don't really understand why my iTunes won't play my AAC files. I've gone to a lot of trouble so I could convert my FLACs to AACs, and I have, and Quicktime can successfully play them, so why can't iTunes? I did not purchase these files online. They are a free live recording of a concert, and I really don't want to hear that these AACs are too old because I created them tonight. Any help would be appreciated.

hi adam: i use Max [v.0.8.1] to convert FLACS to use in itunes [v8.01].
this is how i do it:
1. open the preferences in MAX and click on "Formats"
2 chose to add "MPEG4 AUDIO". when i do so a new menu BOX appears entitled "MPEG4 AUDIO (AAC)". 3. there are listed two "available data formats": choose "Apple Lossless". when you do so you will notice that the options to change the quality and the bitrate are greyed out. click "OK". In your main menu box there should now be listed, as one of your "configured output formats" the following: MPEG4 Audio (apple Lossless).
3. in the same main menu box, to the right hand side should be an iTunes logo. click on it and, in the new menu box that appears, tick the box that says "use iTunes compatibility mode"
4. convert your flacs as before, and then import them into iTunes. it should work.
i have noticed a few strange things however: firstly, the import process [once converted] takes quite a while and also if i try to change the track details [eg genre or artist name etc] it takes a substantial amount of time. not sure why...
hope this works for you.

IPod won't play mp3 files

Recently had to reset my iPod & reload iTunes incl my whole library. Now all of the mpeg song files won't play on my 80g iPod. They will xfer but won't play. B4 the reset all of my files played. I would convert them to AAC but i have over 11k songs-- i shouldn't have to as the player supports these files. It has played them all before.
The imports setting on iTunes is already set to convert to AAC but it never physically does it. It has never mattered before.
What settings, resets, changes can I make.

Ipod won't play any files!

I am using a fully updated ipod and itunes.This morning my son accidently disconnected my ipod while it was flashing do not disconnect.I was using Anapod explorer 8.9.6.
Now none of my files will play at all. When I cue them up the ipod just cycles through all of them.In itunes my ipod is no longer called the name I gave it it is now named my ipod.
But wait it gets better, there is a playlist called the name I first gave my ipod with all my songs in it only they also won't play.
The files are still there when I open anapod but it won't let me move them or play them either. I don't want to restore my ipod cause I don't have a backup yet !
Please somone help me!

Aren't the songs on your computer?
As long as the songs are on your computer, you can
restore your iPod. Or, are the songs not on your
computer?

No the songs are not on my computer.I only have a 40gb hard drive and my ipod is 60 GB. I have a new hard drive in the mail but I don't have a good backup as of yet.

Flash Player 10.2.152.32 won't play FLV file

I seem to be having similar problems to several others here.
I am running Windows XP, SP3, 32 bit on Dell Pentium 4, 2Gigs of RAM, 3.0Gig HD.
Since the March 8, 2011 update I have not been able to play FLV files. Previous to the upgrade, I was able to play these same files.
I have checked - Shockwave Flash Object (VS 8.0.24.0) is apparently installed and enabled, although it DOES NOT show up in the file list (that I can tell at least) in the System32/Macromedia folder. It may be called something else perhaps? These are the files that show as updated on March 8, 2011.
Flash10n.ocx - Active X Control
FlashInstall - text file
FlashUtil10n_ActiveX - application
FlashUtil10n_ActiveX.dll - application extension
Files with previous dates are:
flashplayer.xpt - XPT file, install - text document - dated Feb 17, 2010, NPSWF32.dll - dated Nov. 20, 2007, and NPSWF32_FlashUtil - also dated Nov. 20, 2007.
I can play stuff from YouTube. I am able to see the Flashy thing turn on the link you supplied to others here.
My security is set to "Medium". I have had NO virus issues, and run a VERY tight anti-virus protocol with AVG, AdAware and SpyBot all active, updated either daily (automatically) or weekly (manually).
Should I uninstall and then re-install, so the SFO will be included, or is there a way to retrieve the (apparently) missing Shockwave Flash Object file on its own? This issue has now taken up my entire evening, and I am ready to PERMANENTLY delete Flash from my life!
Thanks,

Hi, you don't need to scream at me. I've been on the Forum 12 hours today and 12 hours yesterday helping users with their problems. This past week I had over 1,000 email notifications in my email account and 90% were from the Flash Player Forum.
And this:Let's try again..........arrrrrrrghhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!
Please don't insult me and act like I don't know what I'm doing or talking about.
The Shockwave Flash Object is not supposed to be in the System32 ...Flash file location. It is never there. It is always in the addons of the browser, it must be since it is the Flash Player Control. Without it and without it being the correct version(which yours is not) Flash Player cannot work! I repeat, Flash Player is a browser plugin and works thru the browser.
The fact that you have a 32bit OS doesn't tell me anything about what browsers you use. I have a 32bit OS, but I use IE6 on one and the other PC I use IE8.
I know you checked some of my posts, I'm not so dumb that I don't recognize my own writing.
Yes, you need to Uninstall and Install again, that is the only way you are going to have the correct SFO Installed.
If you'd tone it down some, I may give you the best way to do that in order to be successful in that.
However, it won't be tonight. Maybe you'll be in a better mood tomorrow.

Audition CS5.5 Won't Play Sound Files

Just recently I have not been able to play any files that I have loaded. In the bottom left hand corner, it notes that the file(s) is either playing or stopped when I press play on the transport, but the cursor won't move and sound will not come out. Below is the screen shot that I think might be the culprit, but I am not totally sure. I am using Audition CS5.5 on an iMac. Thougths?

Well, that's certainly a clue--Audition isn't finding your sound card. You don't say what you have but the first thing I'd try is reloading your sound card drivers.
Also, on the other Preferences menu (Audio Hardware) check that you have the proper sound card and driver class selected.
Finally, depending on what version of Windows you have, it might be worth going to the Windows Audio menu and check that Windows hasn't disabled the device you wish to use for some reason.
