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.

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • MP3 Player will not play through Mic Jack - NB 550D

    Hi
    MP3 Player will not play through Mic Jack. Is this because I have not setup Realtek Audio Manager correctly?.
    Also is there any way to play the MP3 through a USB Port
    Thx

    Hi
    What notebook do you have?
    The mic jack records the audio signal. But I assume you want to use the mic jack an line-in. Right?
    Usually you have to set the default device in recording tab.
    In control panel -> sound -> recording tab.
    If you will not see any further devices but only mic jack then you should click right and should enable the options; show hidden devices and show disabled devices.
    Possibly then you could enable line in.
    Otherwise such option is not available and not possible

  • 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.

  • MP3 Music will not play after upgrade to ios 5

    I upgraded my iPhone 4 to IOS 5 yesterday.... Great!
    But now when I want to listen to my MP3 from the new "Music" app, the MP3 gets stuck and will not play.
    I have audiobooks and videos too and both plays ok with good sound and pictures.
    Can anyone help?
    TQ

    I fixed it by deleting the MP3 and re-loaded / re-sync it back.
    It took over 2 hrs as I had over 1000 Mp3.

  • Quicktime content will not play in Internet Explorer 8 or Chrome

    Hi,
    So I go to the apple website to watch some ads, the iMac videos and movie trailers.
    I have quicktime 7.6.4 installed and working.
    I have Tunes 9.0.2 installed and working.
    I have Vista 64 bit home premium installed.
    Internet Explorer 8. Quicktime content will not play. Neither the Mac ads, or the iMac videos or the movie trailers. I get the message "Quicktime required. Free download".
    Google Chrome. Quicktime content will play the Mac ads and the movie trailers but will not play the iMac videos although it does try to load the video but fails to play it.
    Firefox 3.5.5. Quicktime content will play the Mac ads and the iMac videos and the movie trailers.
    Help.
    Thanks

    Just ran into this same problem after updating Itunes and Quicktime.
    Got a Ipod Touch for Christmas, and downloaded latest version of Itunes and Quicktime and installed it without issue.
    Quicktime movies (Mov) play fine, and mp3's play via Itunes, but in IE8 all I get is "QuickTime required. Free download" when I try to play movies on-line, such as trailers from the Apple Movie site.
    Checked the plug-in folder for IE and all the QT files seem to be there.
    I have uninstalled Itunes and Quicktime, restarted and re-installed but I get the same result.
    Anyone got any clues ?

  • Mp3 does not play in iTunes but plays in Windows Media Player

    Dear group,
    iTunes will not play a particular group of mp3s I have but the same mp3s play fine in Windows Media Player.
    Winamp cannot play them either.
    I've searched the net a bit and found many mentions of it but no solutions which work for me.
    Also, these same mp3s are on my iPod and they play fine.
    Any clues what is causing this bizzare problem? The files are not wma do not have DRM or anything like that.
    I have tried reinstalling iTunes and Winamp.
    Thanks

    Do the tracks import into iTunes even though the will not play? If so try selecting a track, then go to Advanced>>Convert ID3 tags and select None.
    If that allows the track to play you can select multiple tracks to convert.

  • Flash player will not play flvs from folder with name containing non-Roman Chars

    We're trying to play flash as part of a program that can be installed to locations including non-Roman chars (European, Arabic, Chinese, etc.).  When the installation path includes any non Roman chars, video will not play.  The non-roman chars are garbled when Flash tries to load the flvs. Correct non-Roman chars are: ńśćłł.  When loading video it gets translated to: ńśćłł

    Not exactly sure what you are doing, but it is obvious that some part of the program you are running does not support multibyte characters like Unicode.
    If you are developing that application, make sure it is Unicode enabled.  If it is Flash (or Flash Player) that doesn't understand it, then you may not be able to do anything about it.
    What I would try if I were to encounter the situation, I would try to use the DOS (8.3) path names, like C:\Documents and Settings would normally be C:\DOCUME~1 or C:\Documents and Settings\All Users would be C:\DOCUME~1\ALLUSE~1 etc.
    Use the DIR /X command to find out what the DOS folder names are.

  • Zen Stone will not play .WMAs

    ? Hi all- my Zen Stone recently stopped playing wma file- in fact, it will not play anything other than an mp3. When I try, I simply get the red-flashing error signal. I've tried resetting it, searching for updates, etc., but with no results. If this issue has been addressed elsewhere, I apologize, but I did several searches, and came up with dozens of posts concerning wma file sizes, quality, etc. but not this question in particular.
    (I also tried the "wma vs. mp3" link in the FAQs, but it only led me to this error message: Fatal error: Call to undefined function: message_die() in /data/v-clients/nomad/db/db.php on line 88)
    Any fix advice would be greatly appreciated- until this issue popped up, my Stone has been by far my favourite (and easiest to operate) player to date (well, at least since my old yellow Sony Sports Walkman!)? Cheers!
    Mudblood

    What app did you use to rip the CDs? If it was windows media player check the setting to be sure that the protect files is UNCECKED.

  • HT204406 I recently uploaded a live recording to match. Plays when I listen in "recently added" playlist, but will not play in a new playlist "ineligible" cloud symbol appears

    I recently uploaded a live recording to match and it appears (and plays) under "recently added" on the left menu. When I create a new playlist for this music it won't play and has the "ineligible" cloud symbol with slash through it. It must be in the cloud as it's playing now, but the content will not play if moved from "recently added" into a playlist. I'm puzzled. Any help?
    Bit rate is 192 kbps
    it is an mpeg file
    Thanks in advance!

    I just went back and used Tunesify to convert from mp3 to aac format and it's working now. I've added over 20K to my match library and this is the 1st time something like thas has happened.
