error during playback of mp3 files

Some of my MP3 files won't play on WMP 12. I am running Windows 7 64 bit.  I can play music on many other players, so I know that the files are OK.

I get a little red X next to the song, it is ignored and the error details read like this:

Windows Media Player encountered a problem while playing the file.

And that's all. It always happens to the same files and about forty years that give this error among thousands who give me this error.

I have run the troubleshooter WMP and rebuilt the files and the library. Any ideas of the Wizards here?

Good, glad to hear it.

  • 'Jump' during playback of MP3 files

    I have W7 64 bit (home edition) and for two months have been a bit of slowing overall system (ok, the laptop is older than 2 years), but most strangely, now am having difficulties playing MP3 files that are saved locally. This problem is him even as you use Windows Media Player or VLC Media Player, not specific to a single program. These are all the MP3s I pulled my own CDs, and I don't think that them have all been corrupted. The files will begin to play normally, but then after a track or two they begin to 'jump' intermittently, as if it were an old broken record playing.

    I have uninstalled several audio and video programs, which I wasn't really using it where they have can cause conflicts and also performed all the relevant convenience stores on the W7 system. No problem appear.

    I find it very strange. I have no trouble playing music in continuous or video stream on the internet.

    I don't know what else to try or how to go about investigating what is the question. I don't want to have to perform a reset of the major system (e.g. to reinstall W7) I have not really. I found no similar problems mentioned in the forum posts.

    Thank you

    Is it possible to launch SNDREC32.exe from a batch file, this sound recorder is reduced when it reads the file?  I got so the BACK box is hidden, but I like it if tape recorder was automatically reduced also when it reads the audio file.

  • C50D-A-13W (PSCGWE) satellite crashes during playback of video files

    Hello

    my laptop stops during playback of flash (like youtube or facebook videos) files, and then there is a blue screen with a sad face and the following text: "(atikmdag.sys) system_thread_exception_not_handled.
    my system is windows 8.1 and I already reinstalled the display driver (I used this one: http://www.toshiba.de/innovation/dow...jsp?service=DE)

    There is no virus or maleware on the laptop.

    Thanks for the help!

    atikmdag.sys is part of the ATI graphics card driver...

    I think that the problem is caused by the graphics card... probably the ATI driver is the reason why the BSOD appears...

    The laptop was not equipped with a dedicated GPU, but the graphics card part of the Kabini A4-5000 AMD processor AMD Radeon HD 8330 done graphics card

    Perhaps you could uninstall this driver and install a new update...

  • Noise during playback of MP3 EM326g

    I have an EM326g phone with a built-in mp3 player and I like the feature. I use it every day at work. I have a SanDisk 2 GB card installed in the phone memory. The problem is that, during playback, I get a "squeaking" intermittent noise that might happen three or four times in rapid succession at the stop. This happens randomly, maybe every 20-30 minutes or more. It never happens on a particular song, so I ruled out a problem with the MP3 itself. I tried two different SanDisk 2 GB cards and both have the same problem. It's pretty boring and the only downside to another great phone! Any suggestions to fix this? Thank you!

    Problem solved!

    The noise was caused by the comments of my desktop, so I put the phone on airplane Mode when you use the mp3 playback capability and did not have a problem, because I discovered!

  • Stop playback of mp3 files in a new tab

    I want to open mp3 files in my player of choice. Firefox opens a new tab and play instead.
    Made things "always ask" and it does not work as explained in other threads.
    Tried to change the 'media.windows' etc. in the subject: config to false.
    Did not help at all!
    I know I can "Save as".
    I prefer to use firefox the way I have for the past years.
    A button on a Web site that is labeled 'Download' should allow me to open the file in my player of choice.
    On the contrary, it opens in a new tab and begins to play (if I wanted that I would have clicked on the 'play' button).
    A given up hope and installed Chrome - and I have the same problem!
    Stick with firefox if I can solve this minor problem (it IS a PITA!)
    Please help me!

    Yes, this preference doesn't work anymore.

    Media.DirectShow.enabled set to false to disable the built in support for MP3 files. It could be other things, but I don't know what. MP4 (H.264) files always works with this preference set to false.

  • Interruptions with buzzing ("BAAAMP") during playback of music files.

    The audio from any media produced a strong buzz, like a "BAAAMP" and the interruption. This isn't there after a full recovery of windows (provided that the factory) program, but during updates and software payments appears. Remove the software one by one, with no result. Reconfigured the settings of the sound, no results. What on earth could be the cause this annoying problem. I use this computer for DJing and it is unacceptible. Help, please...!

    Hello

    Number description, I understand that playback audio from any media produces a loud gurgling and interruption. I understand the inconvenience.

    (1) what version of the Windows operating system is installed on the computer?

    (2) what is the brand and model of the computer?

    (3) have you made recent changes to the computer before the show?

    I suggest you to reinstall the latest version of the audio driver from the computer manufacturer website and check if it helps.

    Please respond with the above information so that I can help further.

  • After playback of MP3 files, random symbols will then show the name of file in XP

    Basically I'm on Xp, service pack 3 and for a while now, from time to time when I played usually a mp3 or other similar in windows media player, 10 minutes later it will pick a random file from my music folder and add a Japanese symbol at random at the end of the file name.

    Like "be the one" is played, 10 minutes later "be [a]" will now be the file name, only it never appears as the actual symbol, just a square, until you see the name on the windows media playlist where she will be written correctly
    So random, files are defined in the standard. Any help

    Hello again once, yes I ran the scanner.

    My avg updates automatically and I manually ran the update function, and it IS up to date
    I also managed to clear Media Player cache by entering the file manually.
    And as for now the problem disappeared, but as I said earlier, he arrived at random intervals and sometimes takes minutes so he could arrive and sometimes takes weeks. So I'll come back if it comes back. But so far no there no return
