Title: iTunes won't play all my mp3 files
Post by: Snire on 2005-12-14 09:54:31
iTunes can not find, and list in its library window some of my mp3 files. And it will not play this files either. All files are tagged and I cant find anything that says they not should work. They plays fine in WMP and Winamp.
Can anyone help ? please, because I want to use iTunes.

Do you have Quicktime installed?

Yes, should I reinstall it or remove it?
Tried to reinnstall, but the problem is still the same.

Now I have been reading a lot and tried out different things. And here is my conclusion:
I use dbPoweramp musicconverter and rightclick a mp3 file and choose edit tags, and choose remove all. This removes only the ID3v1 tags. I keep the ID3v2 tags ok, and iTunes read them all and plays the file. Yippiii!
But a strange thing is that when I remove the ID3v1 tags with Tag&Rename, the files are still not to be wieved in iTunes. I dont care about this because dbPoweramp musicconverter made it for me.
I think the tagging problem depends on some files are tagged with ANSI and some with UNICODE, and iTunes dont like ANSI.

Now I have marked about 8500 files for ID3v1 tag removing, so I hope it works well...
