Some mp3's don't play

<< < (3/3)

garybeck:
I tried the manual update and it still won't play those particular files.    I'd really like to be able to use the database features.    what else can i do to fix my database?   I see there is "load to ram" and "initialize now."  would any of those help?  would it help to remove all my files and reload them or something like that?   (everything is backed up on my pc)

thanks

saratoga:
Those options won't matter.  I still think you should try to play one of these MP3 files directly from the file browser to verify that its not corrupt, or if it is, post a link to it. 

garybeck:
It does play through the file browser.    through the database, no go...

saratoga:
Pick one of these files that works when you play it directly but not via the database, then long select it, choose properties, and get the path.  Then do it again from the database.  I'm curious what the difference is between the two paths. 

garybeck:
well guess what..... the next time I turned it on (from sleeping, not off) it said "committing database" for a couple minutes.  it went through 9 databases... 1/9, 2/9.... all the way to 9/9.   And now it appears the files are playing.

something I did in the settings must have fixed it. 

so I guess it's fixed but I'll have to use it some more to be sure.  THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
