Ipod can't see 'some' of my songs?

[Keith Discovering]

Mmm, I wondered if someone would help me; my ipod (video version) is fab, but I'm getting annoyed about not being able to play some tunes on my ipod. ITunes shows that the songs are there, I can 'see' the songs on the Ipod drive via itunes and anapod, but as soon as I look for them on the ipod itself; bugger me - they're not there!

I've been to ipod forums, but can't find the answer, so i was hoping someone would kindly help.

the files are mpeg -1, layer 3, audio files, 192kbps - 320kpbs bit rate, 44,1000khz. I've noticed though that the files that 'won't play' are above 128kpbs.

I put this but don't know if it means anything??

Thanks in advance

As far as I know it can't play mpeg 1 files.

Incompatible codecs
iPod cannot play songs that use these audio formats:

snd
QuickTime
MP2
MP1
WAV with compression
WMA and WMA Protected
any other format not in the Compatible codecs list

compatible files

Thanks spanners,
I'm confused even more then, as Itunes says all of my audio files are mpeg audio files. I get this info from itunes, right clicking on the file and 'get info'. The ipod plays 99% on these files
Explorer also says they're mpeg files????
GLoom....
Anymore help please?




Mpeg = mp3 I believe?

If you can put the songs in the itunes library, then right click on it and select convert selection to AAC. Then hopefully they will work.

MPEG 1.0 layer 3 = MP3

I don't have an answer for your problem, but perhaps this solves this particular issue.

If you have the CD that you ripped these songs from perhaps re-ripping them into Itunes might solve the problem. Converting the song to another (compatible) format such as AAC is another option as Spannersatcx mentioned. Good luck!
