I have downloaded several songs on to my clip and I can see them on the player itself however they will not play. Instead the player shows the song and instantly skips to a different song that I had previously put on my clip. This only happens on the most recent songs I have put on the player and not with older ones that I have had on my player. The songs that I am having a problem with were downloaded and did not come from a CD.
Thank you in advance for your help. If there is a thread already covering this topic I could not find it and would appreciate a link.
I forgot to mention they will either be skipped over or the player itself will freeze up and have to be restarted.
They are MP3 files and when i check the properties of the old songs with the new songs everything looks the same.
I have a few songs that do this on my clip as well. One of them freezes the clip anytime it is played, the rest just skip to the next song at a certain point during playback (always the same point in the song). The weird thing is, if I rewind, I can go back to right after the point that it skips, and listen to the rest of the song. I assumed they were corrupted tracks, but they seem to play fine in WMP.
Tunaboat, I haven’t tried this, but it’s what I was planning on testing next time I had a chance…
If the songs work fine on your computer, try burning them onto a CD, then ripping them back onto the computer as a new MP3. Hopefully this would correct any “corruptness” that the clip is picking up.
Thanks for the idea Bowtie I will try that unless someone else comes up with another solution.
