Problems with looping mp3s without gaps

I am building an 8 track Flash audio mixer where the sounds for each track are selected by the user from a list component and then loaded into a Sound variable at runtime. This can be done while the mixer is playing or stopped, and of course, it adds a lot of flexibility for making music. All actionscript is in external .as files and sounds are looped using the SOUND_COMPLETE event.
So far, all loading/playing functions work perfect, but I`m having problems with gaps at the beginning/end of my mp3 files. I was told this was an inherent problem with mp3 files, so I tried using MPTrim to clean the silence up. I also tried starting the loop a bit late - sound.play(80, 1) - but the results are usually inaccurate and unpredictable.
When I import a wav file into the library and then export it as an mp3 file embedded in the .swf file, it sitll has a short gap. When I built a previous mixer in Flash MX (actionscript 1) there was no gap and all sounds looped perfectly! Of course, in this later case, all sounds were embedded inside movie clips on the stage and scripting was done on the timeline, so maybe that made a difference.
What is going on with AS3? I have spent long nights trying to find a solution to this, but to no avail!
I read a blog where the writer went through all the steps I have and just gave up, but I know there is a solution. I have seen this sort of thing done on Flash mixer sites before (even sites with full-on audio sequencers) so I know it can be done!
Is there anything I can do to get around this problem?
Thanks in advance,
Matt

mp3 files can have header info at the start, in addition to dead space at the start and end. if you're certain you've removed all dead space then you should be able to compensate (reliably) for header info by using the offset parameter in the play() method (after you sound's onLoad() method executes. but you wouldn't use 80: that first parameter is in seconds, not milliseconds.

Problem with showing mp3 album art in list view.

Hello.
I have litle problem with showing mp3 album artwork in list view.
In SNOW LEOPARD all work fine, and all mp3 files have album art's preview in list mode in finder.
But in LION i have only default preview mp3 icon.
Option "Show icon preview" is already on!

I have the fix!!!!
I have had the same issue ever since Lion. Its been very painful not having album art preview in finder or the play button when rollover the file for so many versions of OSX. Today I worked hard in trying to solve the problem since Applecare support hasn't helped much, all they did was tell me to bring the computer in. The other main reason I got so motivated to try and fix this is because the DJ app for Mac only reads album art from the finder even if iTunes can display the album art. The other reason that got me curious is that my friends macbook pro album art worked fine, so I cross checked with his computer until I figured out a few things that helped and ultimately fixed the issue. FINALLY!
My set up:
- I have my full iTunes library folder on my external as I have over 700GB of music.
- It includes all my database files in there, which is very important as I have many playlist settings from over 7 years of iTunes activity.
SOLUTION:
1. With every new computer I have purchased, I use to just pressed option on Mac and press iTunes to locate my folder (which I have said is located on my external drive).
2. I tried today to press option again BUT locate and selected the default library in the user/music folder of my internal drive (standard setting from Apple).
3. Miraculously, all the album art appeared in both my external drive library and also today's downloaded songs on my Macbook pro. Ofcourse with the new default location I don't have any songs or data.
4. So I tried to find a way to keep this library data on my internal drive since it can help the finder display all my files properly, yes even have the play on rollover button but as well link it back to my external drive with all my 700GB songs.
5. I then went into iTunes Preferences/Advance tab and in iTunes Media folder locationredirected the location to my external drive iTunes/ iTunes Media folder. If it asks to collate data, press NO.
6. Then I quit iTunes.
7. Next I copied the 4 files to my desktop from my external drive as I want to keep the data I have made with all my playlists etc. The four files are iTunes Library Extras.itdb ,iTunes Library Genius.itdb , iTunes Library.itl , iTunes Library.xml
8. I then went to my internal drive User/Music/Itunes/ and dragged these 4 files I copied from my external drive into here and making sure to REPLACE the four existing files already there.
9. Next open iTunes and you will find all your presettings appear with all your music linked to your external. What this does is keep the important library files on your internal drive (that somehow makes your finder files album art appear), BUT to read also all the music mp3 files located in the external drive (action from step 5)
Presto!! All your music files whether on internal drive or external all the album art has appeared.
Hope this helps!! Let me know if there are any other questions.
I am on 10.8.1 running retina macbook pro.

Problem with looping logic

Hello all,
Ok reposted using code tags, sorry about that.
I'm trying to write some code to take in a 2D int array, loop through the array to identify where certain blocks of numbers begin and record that location so that I an jump straight to it at a later time. The number blocks go up iteratively from a point from 0 to 9 and are surrounded by nodata values(-9999).
The problem is that when I print out the numbers they are only being recognised up to 6 (7th number) and when I check the locations against the original text file they dont match. I think it's just a problem with my logic but I'm not sure why.
The text file is converted to ints and placed in an array from a buffered file reader in a seperate class. I can put this up if needed.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
Duncan
* Class imports text file which contains a collection of values, either nodata(-9999) or a location
* represented by numbers moving away from a point; 0 closest then 1, then 2 etc.
* records the first location of each number to avoid having to loop through the whole file each time.
* i.e. can later jump straight to the first recorded location of each number.
* In current text file there are 10 numbers(0 - 9) but for some reason it stops finding them after
* 6(seventh no.) and having checked the location values against the original text file these are wrong
* by a fair way as well.

Hi,
I am working on a hydrograph program in java as well... I am trying to represent rainfall data. Do you think that you could share some of the code that you came up with, so that I don't have to go through the whole process.
thank you so much,

Problem with mail .mp3 attachments

I can't figure out how to fix a lock up with mail when I try to attach an .mp3 file in mail 7.1 on Mavericks 10.9.1. Whenever I try to attach an .mp3 by dragging or using the "paperclip" I get a green + "copy" sign and then the beach ball, which never goes away. It is only a problem on my macbook pro. My iMac has the same versions and is just fine. I only have noticed problems with .mp3 files. I have no issues with anything else I've tried to attach.

Since it works perfectly on your iMac, but not on your Macbook Pro, it may be some settings in your Mail app on your MBP are not set the same as on your iMac.
And it almost sounds like your hanging Mail app is expecting to do something else with the MP3 file, or translate it into some other format. Have you demonstrated through other means that your MBP's MP3 files are not damaged or corrupted, or aliases rather than the actual files?

Problems with my mp3 pla

Hello there,
About two years ago I bought a Creative Zen Micro (5ghz) and i'd never registered it because i'd didn't want to.
But now I have several problems with my Creative Zen
- I'm not able to switch it on (and no the battery is not empty). Only when I connect it to the computer the backlight lit up.
- My computer doesn't reconize the player although it does lit (only the backlight)
- When I keep it connected to my computer after it starts up I do get the sound of using the menu (i hear the clicks) but idon't see anything.
I've tried to contact creative with the help of the support part of the website? for 2 times. With both times i'd never got an answer back not even a confirm mail.
Can anybody help me because I don't know what to do anymore
greetings from Holland

The correct instructions for putting your Zen Micro 5GB are at the top of this page under the post of "How Do I Access Rescue/Recovery Mode on my player " It has instructions for all the players. I used these instructions last night and it worked fine. You don't plug the Zen Micro into the computer when trying to go to recovery mode. You will be plugging in your computer later to add firmware and drivers.

Problem with reading MP3 tag information

This may be a simple fix, but I'm having no luck figuring it out. I've got an application here that scans through a given directory for all files. We are going to assume that all files below the given parent directory are *.mp3 files. Every file we find is going to have its path stored into an ArrayList. After the ArrayList is created, we will then through the ArrayList, getting the String value which is a path to our MP3 file.
The application works well when I am simply printing out the ArrayList to the console. It's printing out everything in the ArrayList. The ArrayList consists of both directories and paths to actual files. The problem comes when I am trying to take the String from the ArrayList, pass it into my getID() method. Here is the code. i've commented the line in my main method that is giving me problems.

If I type in an actual String that is a path to an MP3, such as:
getID("/home/tristan/My Music/Incubus - Drive.mp3"); Everything works fine. I've tried casting the value pulled from the ArrayList as a String and then passing it to the getID() method, but my exception I am getting is:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassCastException: java.io.File cannot be cast to java.lang.String
 at audioidreader.Main.main(Main.java:38)
Java Result: 1Line 38 is the line I have commented out. Any ideas?

You're right. That is a bit misleading. Anyway, I
decided to not cast (String) to it. It was a simple
fix just like I figured, but of course I figure it
out after I made the post.
getID (files.get (i).toString ());fixed my problem. Thank you.But not in the correct way. You should really use the canonical path or the absolute path.

Problems with Importing MP3s Into Podcast

I'm having sudden trouble importing audio comments into my podcast. I've had no problems in the past doing this. The only difference is that the previous episodes were on my iMac G5 and this episode was produced on my MacBook Pro.
The audio comments arrive as WAV files but I use iTunes to convert them to MP3 format. This time when I tried importing them into my podcast GarageBand shows an error message that "this format is not supported by GarageBand." I find that hard to believe.
When I try to import the WAV files, they import but sound like the chipmunks -- and turn the rest of the recording into a chipmunk-like sound.
Any ideas?

You shouldn't convert them to Mp3 to begin with, use AIFF instead.

Problems with me MP3 player, please he

I went to upgrade to the new MTP firmware, and in the middle of installation I recieved a "Firmware Problem" error. The computer, any creative software, and any firmware does not recognize the device. When I turn on my Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra I get a "Firmware Problem" screen that drops me to the Rescue Mode menu.
How do I get me MP3 player back?
Britt

What OS are you using?What is/was your version of your firmware?In win XP, I had some problems getting the darn thing back to work but eventually got it (it actually wasn't that hard, but that no thanks to Creative but to the feedback of other users?on this forum). What you may need to do, is read the message threads from Rich_T. He went through the same problem and that solved his problem. The good news is that you will get it to work. So check out those threads and replies on those threads, and you should be in good shape. If you still don't get it to work, send me a private message, and I'll send you a list of steps what you need to do. The thing I had to go through was simply uninstall Win Media Player (Player, and then the run time with roll back) but only after the stupid installation crashes!!?After you uninstall this, you should be able to upgrade your firmware, and then get it to work. Good luck,?Peter C.

E71x problem with listening mp3 with headphones

I have E71x. I am trying to listen the mp3 files with its original headphones.(HS-47) I am not getting stereo sound for some reason.(Only the right ear bud is working.) I've tried two different headphones of the same style. I still have the problem. Is there something wrong with AT&T E71x or a setting to be adjusted? I couldn't find anything in the manual regarding this matter. Can someone please help me?

E71 runs S60 3rd edition FP2, and it has only just been released recently. have you checked that the contacts are clean in the headphone port? also check if when you plug in your headphones, the headphone icon comes on in the home screen. also check in the Music Player if the balance is correct. i.e. when you are playing a song, select Options then Audio settings, then check that the Balance is marked as Centre.
another solution is to check that the earphones are clean or your ear is clean from wax. i don't mean to be rude or anything, but a while back i thought i was going deaf (or the headphones were dead in one ear) until i discovered that wax had accumulated within the buds of my Sony earphones. so after some cleaning, the sound was restored
let us know how it goes

I'm having a problem with loops and indexes. (indices? ha)

I'm building a Frequency Histogram table. I have a Histogram method below me, but it's showing up errors for the lines I put in bold. The error is "cannot find "i" variable". What should I do? Thanks in advance for the help.
public void histogram(int numClasses){
int frequency[];
int k = 0;
double midpoint = 0;
frequency = new int[numClasses];
int classWidth = 0;
classWidth = (((int)this.max() - (int)this.min()) + 1) / numClasses;
for (int i = 0; i < data.size(); i++){
if ((0 <= i) && (i < numClasses)){
if ((((this.min() - 0.5) + (data.get(i)*classWidth)) <= data.get(i)) && ( data.get(i) < ((this.min() - 0.5) + ((data.get(i)+1)*classWidth))))
k = (int)((data.get(i) - (this.min() - 0.5) / classWidth));
frequency[k]++;}}
for (i = 0; i < numClasses; i++){
midpoint = (int)this.min() - 0.5 + (k + 0.5) * classWidth;
System.out.println(""+midpoint+" |");
for (int j = 1; j < frequency; j++){
System.out.println("*");
System.out.println();

for (int i = 0; i < data.size(); i++) {
<snip>
for (i = 0; i < numClasses; i++){
}It looks like you are reusing the variable i in the same scope, but it's hard to tell with the lack of [cod[b]e] tags and no formatting.
Try using a different variable for the second loop there, like n or sokething.

Problem with loop previews...

When I click on a loop in the browser, usually nothing happens. Sometimes I get to pre-listen, but 9 times out of 10, zilch. And unless it is one of that minority of loops I can pre-listen to, GB won't let me drag it to empty space in the timeline: if it's an audio loop I can drag it to an audio track, but if it's a MIDI loop I can't do anything with it.
My loops are all perfectly ok in Logic. I just fired up GB for the first time in about a year, remembering how I liked the creative workflow using it as a sketchpad, and this has happened. I should point out that it's the first time I've launched GB since I installed 10.5.
Has anyone encountered anything similar?

Oliver,
Have you tried opening a different song, & then checking to see if the loop browser is active? Or if that doesn't help, trying a different user account?

PROBLEMS WITH LOOPS ON LOGIC PRO 9- PLEASE HELP

I'm messing around the loop Browser. Actually I am getting quite good at it. Even starting doing my personal loops... but there's something in the organization that I don't understand.
I need to make my personal folders with my loops AND I need to get rid of some redundant loops OR change some names but the system won't let me do that.
It just let me put my new loops. They would show up as a bulk in "my Loops" and that's it:
1) Redundant loops don't appear anyway. (except in the browser) and I looked on
Library/Audio/Apple Loops
Library/Application Support/Logic/Apple Loops
Library/Application Support/GarageBand/Apple Loops
Users/"You"/Library/Audio/Apple Loops
Users/"You"/Library/Application Support/Logic/Apple Loops
Users/"You"/Library/Application Support/GarageBand/Apple Loops
2) I organized my loops with dedicated folders but they wouldn't show up in the browser... And I did re-index the Lybrary...
3) Same when I try changing names...
Anyone could help me with this matter? should I may be reinstall Logic again? My current computer was installed from a backup after the other one was stolen... just saying
Thanks in advance
Fran

Are you using Logic Pro 9.1.8 which is the only version of LP9 that is fully compatible with Mavericks?
Also, did you let LP9 rescan the plugins.. If you are not sure... open the Audio Units Manager found under preferences in LP9's menu bar...and see if any of your missing plugins are listed there..
If not, quit LP9, delete the AudioUnit cache and launch LP9 again so it does a full rescan...

(This is for LP8 but it works the same in LP9)

AS3 + FMS2 = problem with "stream" MP3

I use AS3!
I can not get mp3 "duration" (Net Stream)
where event: onID3??????? how it works???? and it works?????
help plz :)

My guess is that its to do with your embedding code. Check a)
you have an id attribute assigned to the resulting object tag from
whatever embedding method you use and b) for good measure make sure
its unique in your html page.
Javascript needs to have a valid reference to return the
value from the javascript function back to flash. In my experience
IE is more sensitive to issues here.
If you get stuck post a test page somewhere.
Tools to use to help with javascript debugging and view the
html embed results (e.g. from swfobject or activecontent.js):
In firefox : Firebug
In IE: IE Developer Toolbar , Companion JS, and DebugBar are
all helpful and , combined, get close to Firebug.
