  • Windows Media Player 11 has stopped playing some of my MP3s. Any ideas on how to solve this?

    I have a desktop Dell Dimension running XP. I uninstalled Real Player and Rhapsody, just in case they were causing problems, but that did not work.

    Here is what I noticed:

    WMP plays still files were extracted a CD, the songs that were purchased from Amazon, but not:

    -The MP3s that have been purchased by third parties (for example, recordings of teleseminar I bought

    -Downloaded free MP3s (once again the teleseminar recordings)

    -WMA files that I downloaded (records of my seminars)

    All this has played before. I can't put my finger when he started, although I think that things started to get weird when I downloaded itunes months ago, but I don't remember this particular problem from this time.

    I searched the Web for similar positions, but found none.

    So... any suggestions would be most appreciated.

    Thank you very much

    Hello OutbackDAL,

    Thank you for your message.  There is an option in iTunes to convert all the songs to the .aac format.  This might be the reason why you are not able to play in Media Player, because this format is not supported in Media Player 11.  Right click on one of the songs that can not play and check the format of the song.  If the song is the .aac format, you will need to convert it to another compatible format or .mp3.  If the song is already in a readable format, you can watch download or install a new Codec.  Sometimes, they have several players (that is to say real, Rhapsody, iTunes, etc.) can damage your Codec.  You can get the Windows Media Player Codec from the link below.
    Please let us know if it did or did not help to solve your problem.
    See you soon

  • Windows Media Player, not able to play the media file online

    Windows media player

    When I try to play videos online, my Windows media player opens and I see the circle goes round & round, can be buffered, but nothing comes out, no picture or sound.

    Hi frank questions,.

    1. where you can read online videos using Windows media player earlier?

    2. did you of recent changes on the computer?

    3. it happens with all the videos online?

    4. What is the type of internet connection you use?

    It's the first time you try to play online videos if due to an internet connection slow or installed on the computer security software.

    I'd say temporary you disable the security software on the computer and check if it works.

    Hi vett82ce, 

    You will need a codec to play the video file. A codec is a software to compress or decompress a digital media file, such as a song or a video. Windows Media Player and other programs use the codec to play and create digital media files.

    You can check the link to see the guidelines on the issue below:

    You can use the link provided below and check if you get the necessary codec to download depending on the type of file, you try to play.
    http://www.Microsoft.com/downloads/en/default.aspx

    You can also use your favorite search engine to download and install a codec based on the file type, you must use.

  • Can't my downloaded music to open in Windows Media Player and Make Playlists in Windows Media Player

    Up to what a few days ago, I could download music (mp3)... put them in files... so being able to move to Windows Media Player and create playlists. The songs are all had small blue and white MP3 icon.  It was great. Didn't matter if they come from youtube or has been downloaded sites and e-mail.

    I had a virus and just had the computer repaired and recharged.  Now all the mp3 files have the Red helmet icon and play on the music app.  I really don't like this app and would like to change back to the old icon mp3.  The computer has always had Windows 8 with the music app, but it never came in the image before. I know that Windows Media Player is not the best, but it worked great for what I had with my music.  It seems that I can't do playlists on the media player more... He goes to the application of music and play on xbox music.

    Please help me to recover from my years 50 era mp3. (I'm not a 'great' computer person, so I'd appreciate any help)

    Thank you very much...

    Hi Paul,.
     
    The probable cause of this problem could be due to the 'Windows Media Player' is not defined as music player by default on your computer.
