Problems with I Tunes and Media Player Settings.

13 years ago

Hi Everyone,

I have Windows XPSP3, Media Player 11 and I tunes recently updated.

The problem is I have a CD that I have played many times on my desktop without any problems. Now what is happening is that it plays just the Music on the very first song, then about half way through the song it plays the music and the vocal. This is on the first song only. The rest of the songs play normally with music and vocal. It is doing this on my Media Player 11 and on the currently updated I tunes as well.

I've taken the CD and put it in my Laptop and it plays both the Music and vocal which it use to do on my desktop. My laptop is Windows 7, with I tunes currently updated. I do not have Media Player on my Laptop.

Also I can put this CD in all of my players including Cars and it plays it normally. I tried copying it and it plays all of the songs like it should in all of my players except it won't play the first song correctly on my desktop which is Windows XPSP3, w/Media Player and I tunes currently updated.

This is very strange that this is happening. Does anyone have any ideas why this is happening? Like I said it always played correctly on my desktop up until now.

Sounds like the CD player could be malfunctioning or failing. Two questions: 1) Does this problem occur with any other CDs on that computer? 2) Have you tried to clean the CD (some players handle surface dirt better than others)?

Thirdfrt, just curious about why you use both ITunes and Windows Media Player. I have never liked WMP so when I bought an ipod and installed ITunes, I quit WMP completely, I didn't activate it on my last 2 computers.

Hi ravencajun, Thanks for the information, I put this in my favorites so that I can go back and research those later. I hope you don't mind but I do have another question about those type of programs. I have never used Quick Time or itunes, they were on my computer when I had it built. My question is what are the purpose of these programs and what are they used for? Please give me an example. I was use to Media Player because of my music and I learned how to put some music into the Media Player. I know there are programs out there that you can use for music n't open media player why?" size=40> Message: Optional Link URL: Â Â Â Name of the Link: Information about Posting You must be logged in to post a message.

Has anyone upgraded to MediaPlayer 11?
Q
Comments (15)
I upgraded from MediaPlayer 10 to 11 and was impressed with how much better it looked. Have done quite a few DVDs using Photo Story 3 for Windows and with the Media 10 it was great. Now I can run one Photo Story from the Media Player 11 and then it freezes. I have to do the control-alt-delete and then reboot. I can still play the music. but not the Photo Story. There is something I am doing wrong or something is missing, but can't figure it out. Can you help me? Have Windows XP, new custom-made computer. Thanks. Dora Lou

songs won't drop into Media Player- can anyone help?
Q

I guess I don't communicate well..... Zep- the wmp runtime is in my start/computer/add/remove. It looks like there are 2 parts when wmp is downloaded? randy- When you have your wmp going- and want to drag/drop a song from the left hand column(library), to the right hand column(sync)- there is a very small '+' sign when dragging the song- it is very little and stays with the song as you are dragging it. I reinstalled wmp again- now the '+' is working, but when I try to sync it, it 'fails/error', and does not sync. I have the song in a file, then it automatically goes to my library. But it doesn't 'load to the Sansa.

Audacity - Audacity is a general purpose audio program that allows users to record and edit audio. It works on Windows, Mac OSX and GNU/Linux, as well as a couple other operating systems. If you start Audacity and press the Record button, it will capture the song being played by iTunes. Add the LAME Encoder (also on the Audacity download page) and you'll be able to export from Audacity to MP3 files. (FREE) Here is a link that might be useful: Here

Use your head with this - a PC isn't a CD player, it's even better. Put any and all your CDs into the PC just once, rip them (transcribe the music files into computer files), and then play them an infinite number of times using the sound files stored on your hard drive.

Either WMP or Itunes will do the rip. If the CD can be read from one PC and not the other, rip the CD on the working PC and then move the files to the other. Or, rip all the working files on the "bad" PC, and use the working PC to rip and transfer just the one non-working file.

A concept that's hard for some to grasp - if you're trying to do something and it doesn't work, it's unlikely the solution is to do the same thing over and over again. Instead, try something different.

Thank you Kudzu9, EmmaR and Snidely,

I found out that the CD Player was going out on me, so I took it in and had a new one put in. Thank you all for your help I really appreciate it.
