So, even if you think a file has an incorrect extension, changing the extension is unlikely to make a difference - at least with iTunes. iTunes does not rely on a file’s extension to determine how to play a file. So, MySong.mp3 is listed as an MP3, where as MySong.m4a is listed as an AAC Audio File. Note that Mac OS X’s Finder will identify a file based on its extension. This is also true if the file identifies itself as an MP3 but is really another format. While you may find other programs that are more forgiving than iTunes, if you want to get the MP3s into iTunes, you’re going to have to get them into a clean file. Unfortunately, there are some files that are so corrupt that they are simply unplayable in iTunes.
You may hear distorted sound when iTunes plays a bit of a track that is corrupt, but iTunes still gets through it. There are some encoding programs out there that have bugs in them and create files that are mostly readable. ITunes already does a very good job of playing MP3s that aren’t created perfectly.
The MP3′s ID tags (the data that tells iTunes artist/album/song info) is in an incompatible format.įixing Corrupt MP3 Files and Converting Other Formats. The file says it is an MP3, but it is really another music format. The MP3 file is corrupt (meaning some of the data in the file is missing or is incorrect). There are three main reasons iTunes may not be able to see or play an MP3: How can you get these files to work? Playing MP3 Files that iTunes Can’t Play On rare occasions, though, you may come across a file that iTunes cannot play, or even worse, fails to recognize. But there are many other places people get their music from: online stores like Amazon, friends’ MP3 collections, or file sharing services such as BitTorrent and newsgroups. When you import music from a CD or purchase songs from the iTunes Music Store, you know you are getting a file that is 100% compatible with iTunes. Everything already in iTunes still works but the switch and switch back didn't help.ITunes is a fantastic application for managing your digital music collection. My location was still showing correctly when I checked it, but I changed it to my Desktop (scary!) and changed it back. I grasped at the straw of the earlier reports that the Library location would have been lost, but my Library has always been in the default location. If I 'drag' the tracks to the song section or the Library in the sidebar, it does outline the section and put a plus on the cursor, but nothing ever happens when I 'drop'. Sometimes the little progress window flashes as if it's going to copy the tracks into my iTunes Music folder (particularly if I launch iTunes by opening the tracks), but that window always vanishes instantly. what files cause it, which OS X versions it happens with, how widespread this issue is, etc. Give Apple feedback+ so they know the details of the situation.
