Media Player play the MP3 files but not others

My OS is XP and I'm using Media Player 11.

In my WM library, I downloaded several music files.  Most are MP3 files.  Some will play, but others do not.  When I look at those who don't in properties, I see the length of play is 0:00.  As far as I know, I have all codecs updated but cannot be sure 100% bee.

Can someone please tell me in words of one syllable preference (I'm technophile worse of the world) if they know of a cure.

Steve

Looks like the files are corrupted. Do you know how they were created originally?

You will probably need to re - download or re - extract the files. If this isn't an option, you can search the Web for MP3 repair tool, but there is no guarantee that the repair will work. Tim Baets

  • Update Firefox, now I get an error when you try to open the .mkv files, but not other video files

    I created an html page of cinema at home with links to movies on my hard drive. I have two types of links or href = 'file:///C:/Media/movies/Looney Tunes/MainMovie/Vol 1 Disc 3/VIDEO_TS/VIDEO_TS. IFO' for normal DVD or href = "file:///C:/Media/movies/Blu-ray/Lorax/mkv/THE_LORAX/THE_LORAX.Title800.mkv" for blu - ray. Both have worked fine (click on the link and the movie starts to play with Media Player Home Cinema) for a few years until what I recently upgraded to firefox. The .ifo files still open as usual, but now blu - ray links take me to a gray page that says "Video cannot be read because the daughter is corrupt" with a large "X" over it. If I open the html page in Internet Explorer and click on the link, it works very well (blu - ray opens by using Media Player Home Cinema). Also, if I directly open the .mkv files, they play very well (open using MPHC). Thanks for any help!

    Change your links to include the attribute type with the value of video/x-matroska . Example:

    <a type="video/x-matroska" href="file:///C:/My%20Videos/Cooking/Making%20Gingerbread.mkv">How to make gingerbread</a>

    I also used to get the same behavior with files from web sites, when I had the extension of InlineDisposition installed.

    Very useful.

    Is it because my swf/html and the database are in very different places?

    Yes, they are in different domains and adobe imposes restrictions on what a swf file can do with the data from one server to another (from the swf) area.

    Are you talking about a PHP or ASP file that integrates the swf?

    lol you create an executable file on the same server that hosts your swf.  This executable can query your database and not trigger cross-domain issues.

    your swf file can send and receive data from and to this executable without triggering cross-domain issues.

    Hi jfaltuna,

    1. what version of Windows Media Player?

    It seems that the brewing of the file is 'ON' Media Player. We recommend that you turn off random playback. To do this, open Windows Media Player and press Ctrl + H or click the game menu and click on Shuffle to turn on or off.

  • Record in the .mp3 file, but the file is displayed as .wav

    Been using AA 3.0.1 for a long time, but can't explain why this is happening. I usually record a song in wave format, no problem, but then I do a "copy as save", in order to make an MP3 of the song, but now my choice to save is this:

    mp3PRO (FhG) (*.wav, *.mp3).

    First of all, I never recall the *.wav never belong to with *.mp3 file extension. Second, once I recorded the song file appears as "mysong.wav", instead of "mysong.mp3", but looking at the size of the file, all about 5 k for a 256 Kbps that runs approximately 02:30, makes it look to be recorded as MP3's... a wav file size would be around 25000 kb.

    Thus, it seems that it is saved as an .mp3 file, but to show that it has been saved as a .wav file.

    How hell did this happen, and what can I do to make sure that the editor, I send an .mp3 file, actually becomes a .mp3 file and will be able to open it?

    Another crazy thing ' don't mess with me and use until some time I have...

    Harry

    Usually because an mp3 player has accidentally recorded with .wav left at the end of the name, a fairly common occurrence. Just make an mp3 save under and actually type .mp3 at the end of the name. This should fix hearing Add .mp3 at the end of mp3s automatically registered again.

    I suspect that your saved file is actually an mp3 player so just rename it correcting the suffix.

  • Do you know how to solve the reason why I can't export my file into a MP3 file successfully? Why the MP3 file will not play after that I exported?

    Do you know why a file I exported using Adobe Audition doesn't play like a MP3 player?

    Well, to give a detailed response, we will have to a lot more on exactly how you did your export MP3 and where it will not play.

    However, a quick generic conjecture is that the hearing can make MP3 bit rate Constant (CBR) and bit rate Variable (VBR), as well as a wide range of bit rates.  (All of this is implemented on the screen POPS when you save in MP3 format).  Some MP3 players get picky with the files VBR and others do not like the low rate files then you better check these settings on your export.

  • Windows Media Player plays only one file at a time

    These days, my Media Player acted upward.  It will play a music/film without problem, but when I try to play multiple files at the same time it hangs and I have to Ctrl-Alt-Delete to stop the player because it does more.  When I try to use it again after t6hat, it doesn't respond at all and will even stop my computer restart/stop, saying that the program is not responding.  How can I fix?

  • Why Windows Media Player plays the song wrong when I click it in a playlist?

    I did a huge selection automatically (with 145 songs) with five-star is Windows Media Player 12 in Windows 7 on my Dell XPS L702X.

    So, let's say that I want to hear "Everybody Hurts [edit]" r.e.m. I click on n, it starts WMP play "Slips through my fingers" by Agneta Fältskog!
    He plays another song which is 24 positions above!
    At first, it used only for touch me when I was sorting the songs in the playlist by Genre, Album, year, etc... But now, even with the contributing artist, he played another song!
    The only way for her to play the song I want is with some navigation arrow keys or when I clicked on the playlist and I'd get a unsorted list. With the unsorted list, I find the song.
    It's a difficult problem, but I have a temporary solution. But please try to find an answer!
    EDIT: now at random. Unsorted perspective will give me wrong songs and the artist's view contributing sort will give me good music! What a mix! Say that it is a "re - Mix"!

  • How media player changes the music files (modo-live mesh)

    Hi, seems that media player mark fall files in a folder such as "changed" when I change what should logically be the attributes of the filder (ie the year or kind..). While I understand why media Player that do, it creates a huge unnecessary traffic to live mesh (I'm trying to sync my music folder).

    Furtehrmore, after you have synchronized with another computer, the other computer goes to the internet, detects updates and marks a great numer of files resulting in a huge amount of traffic to the original computer...

    Hello, jmdh

    Please use the Forum for answers!

    Tags for music files are stored in the file. When you change these Nokia is written and therefore actually changed. This happens with other software which publishes these tags as well and not specific to Windows Media Player.
