The Doctor Posted 31 March 2011 Share Posted 31 March 2011 I'm having a problem with my ipod at the moment. Most of my tracks play fine however there are two albums which, whenever they come up either on shuffle or from me trying to play the album, won't load and the ipod just skips over them instead. Does anyone know what's gone wrong and how to fix it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajthefox Posted 31 March 2011 Share Posted 31 March 2011 At a guess I can only imagine they haven't been added to the ipod properly, for example maybe it was synchronising when the cable came out and it corrupted them or something? My advice would be to get rid of the songs from your itunes, check the files themselves then put them back into iTunes again and then sync your iPod back up to your computer. Not sure if it will work but I can only imagine the problem is with the files, not the iPod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Part Of The Crowd Posted 31 March 2011 Share Posted 31 March 2011 Check what file format they are, Ipods will only play AAC or MP3 formats, it could be that they are .Wavs or other such files. The Ipod will load them on but not play them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part Of The Crowd Posted 31 March 2011 Share Posted 31 March 2011 You find they very rarely play .Wav files. It could be that they are AIFF files, but there are many file types iPods don't play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Doctor Posted 31 March 2011 Author Share Posted 31 March 2011 They're mp3 files. I've tried removing them from itunes then putting them back into itunes and re-syncing but that doesn't seem to have helped - they'll play in itunes no problem but not on the ipod itself. Also not sure if this bears any relation to the problem i'm having but the when i go to the location of the files within my documents, i found in their properties comments such as: 000037E3 00003533 0000AFB6 00009F7C 0002E13B 00013020 00008000 00008000 000003B8 000002A1 which weren't there before.

Jackirius Posted 31 March 2011 Share Posted 31 March 2011 Probably not an MP3 or AAC, ipods will only play certain formats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Doctor Posted 31 March 2011 Author Share Posted 31 March 2011 No, definately MP3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoxyPV Posted 31 March 2011 Share Posted 31 March 2011 You may have to restore factory settings which is absolute ****ing melt. I had to do that after I couldn't delete about forty podcasts as they wouldn't show up on my iTunes but were on my ipod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Doctor Posted 31 March 2011 Author Share Posted 31 March 2011 converted the offending files from mp3 to AAC and so far they seem to be working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Part Of The Crowd Posted 1 April 2011 Share Posted 1 April 2011 Must have been a weird file format which your computer recognised as MP3 but the iPod couldn't play. Weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
