V Plus - Audio format is not suppor

Just got my Zen V Plus today and finally got the computer to recognize it. I upgraded the firmware and reset it, then copied some songs to it. The first folder I copied was a CD I ripped, mp3s@320. They were all ripped at the same time off the same CD with the same program(freerip). For some reason, on about /3 of the songs I put on it, it says "Audio format is not supported". I tried reformatting it and copying them back over and I still have the same program. I also tried putting some other CDs on it. The same thing has happened to a few songs on every album so far... I'm going to try and get a hold of tech support, but they're closed today and thier email support is crapped out. Anyone have any ideas on why its doing this?

Problem solved for me. Found .0.03 firmware available from link at nomadness.net (http://www.nomadness.net/modules.php...rticle&sid=980).

Creative Zen V Plus - Seeking your help with "Audio format is not supported" error

Hi,
I have a problem with my Creative Zen V Plus and am looking for someone to do a quick test to help me. I listen to a lot of MP3 podcasts, so I often rewind, fast forward or set bookmarks inside tracks. When I do those operations in some tracks, I get the error ?Audio format is not supported? when I ?land on certain places in a track (and I am able to reproduce the problem, which happens always at the same place in a particular track).
Here is what I mean by ?land?. For instance, there is a particular track (see the mp3 link below) that whenever I rewind to exactly 35 min 37 seconds, I get the error ?Audio format is not supported? and playback is stopped. If I fast forward to exactly 35 min 37 seconds, I also get the error. If I set a bookmark to exactly 35 min 37 seconds and I then go to that bookmark, I also get the error. But I don?t get the error if I play the track normally without any rewinding or fast forwarding: the track is played and passes the 35 min 37 seconds mark without any error.
Creative Labs customer support wants me to return my player for repair, but I am not sure if the problem is with my player or if the problem would also be present on other Zen V Plus, thus my asking for your help.
I would appreciate if someone of you could try one of my problematic tracks on their player. Here is what you could do to help me:
1- Download and transfer to your Zen V Plus player the following audio file (it'ss a technology podcast and don?t worry, it'ss virus-free, it comes from CNET):
http://podcast-files.cnet.com/podcas...oud_090808.mp3
2- Go to the 35 min and 37 seconds mark, press PAUSE and set a bookmark there.
3- Go into the Bookmarks menu and go to the bookmark you just set.
4- Do you see the error ?Audio format is not supported?, or the audio plays just fine? If the audio plays just fine, could you tell me what are the first words you hear
when going to that bookmark, just so that I am sure we are indeed doing the same test on each of our side?
5- What firmware version is your player at ?
Thank you very much for any help you could bring me.

never mind. figured it out!

After using iTunes Match, 5 songs have a "was not copied because the audio format is not supported by the iPhone".

After using iTunes Match, 5 songs have a "was not copied because the audio format is not supported by the iPhone".
I have deleted these songs and downloaded them from iTunes Match (they were "matched" and not "uploaded" files). However, it still does not work.

I have the same issue with 8 songs in my library. All are "Matched" and I've tried deleting them and redownloading them from iTunes Match, but they won't play in iTunes or transfer to any of my iDevices.

ITunes does not support audio format of iTubes store song

I downloaded some songs from the store but some of them say that they cannot be copied because the audio format is not supported by my iPod. The songs do not play in iTunes either. I have a nano with the latest update. What is happening and how do I fix it?
iMac Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Contact the iTunes Email Support with the names of the songs using the link at the bottom of this page:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/authorization/
Songs from the iTunes Store are in ACC format & should play in iTunes & on your iPod...So it sounds like the songs didn't download correctly.

All songs disappeared - audio format not supported by ipod

I went to sync my Nano today and instead ALL of the music was removed from it. Says can not sync music because audio format is not supported by iPod. We uninstalled itunes, restored the device and started again from scratch. The music synced fine, I bought an album on iTunes and when it synced ALL of the music was removed again and I got the same error for EVERY single song I tried to sync. Help?

That's very unusual and I have heard of such behavior. Since it seems to be an issue with iTunes, remove it and all other Apple software using the instructions in this Apple support document and install it from scratch.
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
Can you think of what may have changed since the last time the iPod successfully connected and synced with iTunes without any errors?

I am trying to import quicktime audio files into FCPX and it's saying they're not suppored - Help?

I am trying to import quicktime audio files into FCPX and it's saying they're not suppored … Help?

Here is the How to import in itunes 11. Including the Join tracks option.
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12278
Also if you have imported them then this article gives a good understanding of how to tag these songs
http://samsoft.org.uk/iTunes/audiobooks.asp
the other option would be to use an App like Audiobook Builder to stitch the tracks together in upto 12 hour long sections and sends to itunes automatically. It is available in the App Store. There are others available, Audiobook binder is free

Stereo Mix Audio format not supported?

Hi
I'm pretty new at streaming, and i need help with my audio setup, I'm selecting Stereo Mix from the dropdown menu in the FMLE 3.2 but when i do it says.
"Audio format not supported."
"Audio format provided by audio capture device is not supported by this application."
I don't really understand why, since my mic device is supported. Why does this occur?
And how can I fix it?
I have a motherboard soundcard "VIA HD".
EDIT: I figured out why it doesn't work.
I went to the Recording devices menu to check the options but I noticed that Stereo Mix was "Currently unavailable" I figured maybe a program was using it but I don't know how to check what programs use the device.

I have noticed something else which is weird : the recording device is ALWAYS called "Line 1".
I tried renaming both the VAC playback and record devices Line 1 to other names, FMLE still displays "Line 1". This makes no sense (and Audacity sure doesn't behave that way, I have checked).
Should I need to make a complete uninstallation to wipe old FMLE settings ?

APE 12 exporting to MPEG only the audio is rendered not the video. Exports to other formats.

When exporting (rendering) a HD video through Adobe Premier Elements 12 to MPEG only the audio is rendered not the video. Exports to other formats.

I'm actually surprised that you can playback ProRes files in Windows Media Player, which normally exploits neither QuickTime components, nor reverse-engineered decoders from ffmpeg library... So as to be able to successfully import ProRes media into Adobe products you have to get QuickTime 7 installed (the latest version is 7.7.4). If your files are not corrupted and you didn't somehow install something like K-Lite codec pack on your machine, you should be good to go.

I get error "audio format not compatable" when downloading music from the itunes store

I get error "audio format not compatable" when syncing ipod classic. Music purchased from itunes store.

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copy of the track and try redownloading a fresh one. See the following document for instructions:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

ITunes error message - "video format is not supported by the iPad" My video is mp4, mpeg-4.

When syncing my iPad 2.... Why do I get this iTunes error message? "video format is not supported by the iPad"
My video is mp4, another is mpeg-4.
I thought the iPad 2 could play almost any format.

Must conform to these specs:
Video formats supported: H.264 video up to 720p, 30 frames per second, Main Profile level 3.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format
Or download an alternate video player,such as avplayerhd.

[SOLVED] HDMI audio - "alsactl restore" not working

I can't seem to get audio through HDMI working properly.
I was able to get it a few weeks ago, on Debian Jessie by doing the following:
Creating ~/.asoundrc with the following contents:
pcm.!default {
type hw
card 0
device 3
running "alsactl restore"
I got this from https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=132641
When I run "alsactl restore" now, on Arch, I get the following output:
alsactl: state_lock:114: file /var/lib/alsa/asound.state lock error: File exists
alsactl: load_state:1677: Cannot open /var/lib/alsa/asound.state for reading: File exists
Found hardware: "HDA-Intel" "Intel PantherPoint HDMI" "HDA:14f1506e,10280569,00100003 HDA:80862806,80860101,00100000" "0x1028" "0x0569"
Hardware is initialized using a generic method
Audio continues playing on my laptop speakers, not on my TV.
I tried renaming "/var/lib/alsa/asound.state" and then running "alsactl restore", but I got the same error (even though the file no longer exists!).
Running "aplay -D plughw:0,3 /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav" does give me sound on my TV speakers through HDMI.
Any ideas?

What exactly are you trying to achieve? Do you want to switch between laptop speakers and hdmi? Type hw is not recommended and you are using it directly, which means if the format does not match it will not accept it, s a plug between would make sense.
Alsa wiki wrote:Simply setting a type hw as default card is equivalent to addressing hardware directly, which leaves the device unavailable to other applications. This method is only recommended if it is a part of a more sophisticated setup ~/.asoundrc or if user deliberately wants to address sound card directly (digital output through eic958 or dedicated music server for example).
You could send sound two both cards and then toggle mute between them. See multi plugin for this. It could be problematic though.
I also fail to see what 'alsactl restore' is supposed to achieve here, since it restores the previous settings for ~a[lsa]mixer, you would have to store the appropriate settings first with 'alsactl store' [in multiple files]. Switching between configurations should be easier.

Video that used to sync now "format is not supported"

Hi there,
After some odd behavior from my 160GB iPod Classic, I have restored it and am in the process of reloading it. I have one TV episode I ripped that is no longer syncing over to my iPod though. The video worked yesterday on the iPod and today it won't sync. I am receiving the "video format is not supported by the iPod" error. Any ideas on why this would happen all of a sudden? What the problem might be? How to easily resolve the problem w/o a re-rip? Thanks! The details of the video follow:
h.264 file - 640x480
AAC Stereo Audio (48 kHz)
29.97fps
bit rate: 1652.83 kbits/sec
Thanks again!

I feel ya...I just bought a tv episode and it won't sync to my 160gb IPod and mine hasn't been restored just authorized for my other new laptop....anyone have any answers for us??

Some advice on audio formats and converting tracks

_*Some thoughts about audio formats and conversions. These are all supported by iTunes unless stated otherwise.*_
General principles : there is no point in converting an already compressed track into a higher bit rate - it may seem as if this would give an improved quality, but once information has been lost through compression, there is no recovering it. The sound MAY be improved subjectively through the use of an appropriate EQ setting.
This is not a definitive list : other formats, for example the one used by Real Player, and the ATRAC minidisc codec used by Sony, are not listed : many of the following can be used in iTunes, or are reasonably well-known.
To use one of the available formats, they should be set in the Importing tag in *iTunes Preferences* (Advanced prior to iTunes 8, now in General). Once set, the format is used for importing CDs, but can also be used to convert tracks already in iTunes (using the Advanced menu : +Convert Selection to xxx+ ). It is not used when dropping files onto iTunes, or using Add To Library.
1. _Lossless formats_
Certain high-quality audio formats are "Lossless". This means that if the track is re-converted into the same format (after editing, for example), it will not degrade no matter how many times that is done.
.AIFF - a format (common in Macs) representing full CD quality. Bit-rates are over 1400 kbps; +1 minute of music is approx 10MB.+
.WAV - more or less the same as .AIFF but a Windows format.
*Apple Lossless* - a 'once-only compression', applied to .AIFF or .WAV tracks to retain quality but reduce file sizes. A little (totally inaudible) information is lost, but also a more efficient 'codec' (compression algorithm) is involved. +1 minute = approx 5MB.+
.FLAC - similar to Apple Lossless, but less proprietary (a more open standard). Not supported by iTunes.
2. _'Lossy' formats_
These formats are so-called because each time the conversion is done, the track is re-compressed, and more information is lost even if the file size remains the same. Various quality settings can be chosen, from around 320 kbps (high) down to below 128 kbps, though 128 is reckoned to be the lowest acceptable bit rate to listen to music in stereo.
In general, the higher the input quality, the higher the output quality when 'stepping down'. Therefore an .AIFF track converted directly to 128kbps 'lossy' will sound better than a 256kbps track re-compressed to the same 128kbps.
.MP3 - a standard audio compression format that has been around for many years. Common everywhere, and supported by virtually all contemporary music players. The codec has been improved so that modern MP3s sound markedly better than earlier versions. +1 minute @ 128 kbps = approx 1MB.+
.AAC - a superior codec to MP3 (though the quality gap has narrowed), which has been chosen by Apple as the iTunes format of choice. Nowadays, a track at 128 kbps .AAC will sound around the same quality as the same track at 160 kbps MP3. +1 minute @ 128 kbps = approx 1MB.+
.WMA - Windows' own proprietary lossy codec. It seems to have a bright and sparkly sound compared to MP3, but lacks a decent 'bottom end', i.e. the bass tones are somewhat lacking. Not supported by iTunes. (Can be played using VLC).
.OGG - the open standard Ogg Vorbis format, often held to be superior to MP3 but little-used and therefore not supported in many platforms and players, including iTunes.
When considering which format to use, the most important things to remember are
1. how will these tracks be played back? (on a hi-fi? an iPod? expensive earphones?)
2. the quality will depend finally on the judgement of the listener (some ears are better at telling small differences in quality than others)
3. how much space is available to store (and expand) the music library?
As for quality, a good way to decide is to "audition" different formats. Using one CD track known to you, try importing it at several different formats and bit rates (using iTunes Preferences). Then just play them, see which sounds best to you. In this way I came to decide for myself that AAC @ 256kbps was the best for me +(1 minute = approx 2MB).+

The Windows version of iTunes supports importing of WMA files, converting them to one of the other formats. Mac iTunes offers now support of WMA files at all.
Good point - and if I knew more about iTunes on Windows I would amend that and post a different version of the article in their forum.
I accept the point about .WAV files being used also for compressed formats but didn't want to make it too complicated; the most common use for .WAV I believe, is full quality audio.
On the subject of Lossless compressed audio (FLAC and AL), Wikipedia has this :
_*Difficulties in lossless compression of audio data*_
+It is difficult to maintain all the data in an audio stream and achieve substantial compression.+ +First, the vast majority of sound recordings are highly complex, recorded from the real world. As one of the key methods of compression is to find patterns and repetition, more chaotic data such as audio doesn't compress well. In a similar manner, photographs compress less efficiently with lossless methods than simpler computer-generated images do. But interestingly, even computer generated sounds can contain very complicated waveforms that present a challenge to many compression algorithms. This is due to the nature of audio waveforms, which are generally difficult to simplify without a (necessarily lossy) conversion to frequency information, as performed by the human ear.+
+The second reason is that values of audio samples change very quickly, so generic data compression algorithms don't work well for audio, and strings of consecutive bytes don't generally appear very often. However, convolution with the filter [-1 1] (that is, taking the first difference) tends to slightly whiten (decorrelate, make flat) the spectrum, thereby allowing traditional lossless compression at the encoder to do its job; integration at the decoder restores the original signal.+
+Codecs such as FLAC, Shorten and TTA use linear prediction to estimate the spectrum of the signal. At the encoder, the estimator's inverse is used to whiten the signal by removing spectral peaks while the estimator is used to reconstruct the original signal at the decoder.+
This seems to imply that even Lossless codecs make changes, but it IS a very complex subject. If I could still edit the main article I would remove that bit about AL losing information.

Best audio format for recording speech?

Hello everybody,
I was wondering which audio format (encoding, sample rate, sample size) is considered best for recording speech in regard of memory usage and perceptible/acceptable quality loss.
What do you suggest, what are your experiences, what reasons can you state?
Thanks!

I finally found something:
[sample rate for speech|http://wiki.audacityteam.org/index.php?title=Sample_Rates#32_kHz_.2F_14.5_kHz]
[bit depth|http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Bit_Depth#16_Bit]
I know audacity is not an application based on the java sound api but these wiki articles provide good common information on signal processing.
According to the article I believe 32kHz ist the optimal sample rate for recording speech. But I still don't feel satisfied by the information given about the bit depth. I think 8 bit is too low but 16 bit (CD quality) might be too sumptuous. Unfortunately the quality I can record with is limited my recording and output hardware so it might become hard for me to top that out. Maybe someone can help.
Is it true, that the encoding can be customized with codecs by extending the audio service provider? How would something like that work?
