• 41 of Firefox on Windows is unable to read the first second of MP3 files

  Although Chrome and Internet Explorer playback of MP3 files all normally, 41 Firefox doesn't playback the first second of any MP3 file.

  Example:

  http://www.sakisgouzonis.com/publicfiles/Sakis_Gouzonis_-_In_Unity_There_Is_True_Strength.MP3

  I started Firefox in Mode safe, but the problem is still there. I also removed completely all my modules, but the problem remains.

  Thanks in advance for your help on this issue.

  The new update (Firefox 42) solved the problem. Thank you very much.

• How can I force Firefox to download mp3 files and NOT play?

  Hi guys,.

  I couldn't change the settings of Firefox in this way, that it does not play mp3 files at all (in any kind of player), but allows to decide what with them for example to download the file.

  What I actually did:

  - changed at settings, that I want a dialog or download any file type and NOT use any other option (yes, all of them - not any kind of effect was seen there...)
  - changed especially all mp3-related options to download
  - deactivated ALL plugins and addons
  - about:config -> media.windows-media-foundation.enabled -> false
  - uninstalled ALL types of mediaplayers (Winamp, VLC etc.), but not WMP because it would be very complicated and would cause several bugs
  

  Many updates before (I think it's up to 20 FF or if) you could simply tell FF, I tried to download the file via the settings and now it isn't.

  Is it possible to left I can force Firefox to NOT READ mp3 files in any player and offer my the possibility to download?

  Please do NOT give answers like:

  - right click on the file and save it as ... I allready know that and do not want to use that solution. A few years before it was possible, so it should also be possible to directly click at the file and decide what to do with it. On all the sites I want to use it the possibilities are given and not blocked by the sites or implementations itself.
  

  I thank very you much for your help in advance. I'm desperately trying to find an answer to this question for months...

  Hello TurZ, please set media.windows - media - foundation.enabled back to its default value and turn media.play - stand alone false instead.

• I can't import a mp3 file in iTunes 12.4.1.6

  I downloaded an mp3 file in a web page, on the desktop. I want to import into iTunes.

  I tried to use the file > add to the order of the library with no result. I also tried drag / drop on the window of iTunes music. The file obtained a plus sign and the border of the window went blue, but once again no mp3 in the music list.

  So I hope that someone can suggest a fix for this.

  Thank you

  Geoff

  Is it possible that the file is corrupted? You can download it again and try? ITunes is able to play?

• How to exchange a mp3 file with another without losing metadata?

  I like to follow my iTunes library usage statistics, and I have a file of the song I want to replace it with a newer version. (The latest version is a more long/extended cut of the file that I currently have). I don't want to lose the metadata of the file. Is there a way I can exchange the old by the new and that iTunes file to associate the metadata of the old with the new file?

  Thanks for your help!

  If metadata, you mean the game number, no problem.  Leave the track in your library.  Right click, view in the Finder to find its corresponding file.  Delete the current MP3 file and replace it with the new file.

• 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!

  I did set 'media.windows-media-foundation.play-stand-alone' to false.
  

  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.

  Thanks for the links. This issue up before, but I could never find MP3 links without Content-Disposition: attachment, so I won't be able to reproduce the problem.

• How to stop Firefox playing mp3 files and allow me to save the file

  I've upgraded to Firefox v28. I want to record an mp3 file to play later as earlier versions of Firefox. When I click on the file, it starts playing and does not give me the option to save the file.
  In the Options, the settings of 'application' for the file MP3 is on "save file". The quicktime plugin is disabled.
  The media.windows - media - foundation.enabled is set to false in: config
  How can I restore Firefox behavior to be like the older versions
  Thank you

  That fixed it! Thank you!

• Firefox will not play SermonConnect mp3 files that have been uploaded to Amazon S3 server using S3 Organizer after 2014 7. Already downloaded the files OK.

  Files uploaded to the Amazon S3 server are accessible via our Web site at littlecountrychurch.org. All multimedia files downloaded before January 7, 2014, be played properly on our media page. Files uploaded after January 7 refuses to play on the Firefox browser. To add to the confusion, other browsers Chrome, Safari, Internet Explorer on Windows and Mac-play these files correctly. In addition, an older version of Firefox on an XP laptop plays files correctly. We even ran a test by downloading a working of the S3 server, re-uploaded the file file and Firefox would not read the freshly downloaded file, but he continued to play the same file previously downloaded without problem.

  The problem is the content-type header sent to S3. The old MP3s are designated "audio/mpeg", which is perfect. Newcomers are designated "application/download", which does not work in Firefox native HTML5 audio player. (The inset on the screenshots is pasted from a screenshot of the Fiddler proxy).

  On a normal web server, all .mp3 files usually served in the same folder have the same content type. Something seems different about Amazon storage, perhaps based on a difference in their environment "backstage."

• Media.Windows - Media - foundation.enabled set to false does not stop the MP3 files to play rather than the economy. I want my file save instead of the rear. How?

  I used to be able to click on the MP3 files and they would save, according to the setting in my Options. Now when I click on a link to an MP3 file, it goes to a player page, I don't want to.

  I looked through the help here, and it is proposed to amend media.windows - media - foundation.enabled to false. I did, and it made no difference. (Restart after making the change did not help either.)

  I use version 26.0 in Windows XP. I had not downloaded MP3s since July, so I don't know which version this started.

  Windows XP uses Media Foundation, it uses DirectShow (DirectX). To turn it off, it was a different preference:

  (1) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press ENTER. Click on the button promising to be careful.

  (2) in the search above the list box, type or paste media and make a pause so that the list is filtered

  (3) double-click the preference media.directshow.enabled from true to false.

  I don't know if this changes enter into force immediately or after you exit and then restart Firefox.

• Do not hear mp3 files or audio in Firefox 26

  My system is automatically upgraded to the latest version of Firefox on Windows 7 26 and since it updated, I hear all audio files - mp3 or ogg. If I try to just open an mp3 file in Firefox, I see a player and watch the progress of the reading, but I don't hear anything.

  I think I've lived each article in support of Firefox on audio and video playback and what to do if you do not hear a mp3 in Firefox. None of this changed nothing.

  I found the Firefox options for MP3 that give me the choice of "Always Ask", "Use QuickTime Plugin 7.7.4' and "Use Windows Media Player (default)" and have tried both QuickTime Plugin choice and Windows Media Player choice and it has no affect.  I SEE the playback, but don't hear it.  I use the volume slider in the playback window, but it has no affect.  I can hear these mp3 files when I play them in IE or Chrome, so what is the matter?
  

  MP3 files used to play for me. But in the last days I think versions of Firefox and QuickTime have improved and now I can't make it work.

  Very frustrating.

  The current versions of Firefox allows you to play MP3 files and some video as formats H.264 the HTML5 media player built-in.

  Did you also check the volume control in the mixer Volume of Windows while Firefox play a sound through the built-in Media Player?

  It helps to turn off Windows Media Foundation in Firefox by assigning to the pref media.windows - media - foundation.enabled to false on the topic: config page?

• I can't download to work - it does not copy the mp3 files to my location (as defined in tools/options) - it gives me a new window with a player - no dwnlo

  I am running windows xp sp2 and I put my site to dowload under (Tools/options), but when I select an MP3 file to download, firefox does NOT copy the file to my location of choice on my HD - instead, it opens a new window with a 'player' of fortune and starts to load the player with the MP3 file. The problem is that I have no idea where on my system, firefox has copied this file, so, I can't leave and come back later and read this MP3 file using winamp. I need to hear right then or lose - if I close this new window (with this puny little ' player'), then I lose the download, there where to put firefox on my PC (I have no idea where it is). It's all under firefox 25.0

  I also use FIrefox 12.0 on an older windows 2000 machine and that works perfectly - I can download any MP3 file, I want to, and downloads of firefox 12.0 (on win2k, sp4) to my location (on my HD), and it gives me the download window so I can watch its progress and have some control over break and resume , and, when it's done, the download window offers me the option 'open containing folder' so I can make sure that where I wanted. In other words, Firefox 12.0 on WIn2k, sp4 works better than firefox on winxp sp2 25.0! What gives? I went through and set up my options for XP just like I did with Win2k and everything looks good, but firefox 25.0 don't know just my chosen and always default place to give me fortune player and I am not able to actually copy the mp3 files on my hard drive - it's firerox almost unusable 25.0 since downloading mp3 files is a big part of my use firexfox - please help. I am not able to upgrade windows at this time, and since firefox 12.0 still works fine on win2k, I do not understand what has happened to firefox?

  Hello littleberry, you can click on the link that leads to an mp3 file or right click on the drive in firefox and choose to download the file like that...

• What is the best way to retrieve deleted mp3 files? I am running OSX Leopard 10.5.8 on a PowerPC G5 tower. I'll be very grateful for any help in this matter. Thanks to Chris

  Hello

  What is the best way to retrieve deleted mp3 files? I had a lapse of attention and I deleted a folder containing most of my music files. It is for the most part, the mp3 but there was regular audio files and some wav files in there also. I am running OSX Leopard 10.5.8 on a PowerPC G5 tower. I have another PPC machine to help the recovery, if I need, but at the moment, he is not appearing on my network (3 computers). I'm trying to change this soon. I'll be really grateful for any help in this matter.

  Thanks to Chris

  If you emptied the Recycle Bin after you move the folder to the trash, and you don't have a time Machine or another backup, then it is lost, sorry.

• Play instead of download MP3 files or video

  When iam downloading videos or mp3 files that he started playing insread of download

  Thanks philipp. I just spent two hours trying to understand this point, check all my settings, uninstalling software from reading that I thought may be trying to take, etc. I even did a system restore trying to solve this problem. Would be really nice if a feature like this have been listed in the options settings, or if a person asked if they wanted this before he just took their settings. Maybe this suggestion can be passed along to the right people.

  A really strange thing is the same thing has happened to Google Chrome as well as the same remedy does not seem to apply. Well, I only use Chrome for purposes of test in any case.

  Thanks for providing the answer.

• Record French text to speech as a mp3 file

  I need to save French speech synthesis in the form of MP3 file I save and reproduce on my iPad or iPhone. I know how to make an MP3 file as a track to iTunes from a text file on my MacBook Pro, but I don't have access to my iPhone and iPad now. I searched online and the App Store for solutions but did not get to what either. Make a record of my own voice with the voice recorder application does not have a track quite high quality.

  Thanks for any help you can provide, pointing me apps or iPad features I have yet to discover.

  I used the Voice Record Pro for these purposes with great success. Can export the soundtrack recorded in a variety of formats, including MP3.
