    MP3 File Plays on Windows Media Player but NOT on Itunes.
    I have tried adding the Folder where it is contained as well as adding the specific file. I have even tried "Open With Itunes" and the file will not play; but it plays perfectly on Windows Media Player.

    I'm sorry if my reply offended you in some way. I was merely letting you know that your suggestion did not fix my problem.

    Songs purchased through the iTunes Music Store are encoded as 128kbps AAC files. AAC files normally have a .m4a file extension (i.e. U2 - Vertigo.m4a). However because Apple uses DRM to "protect" the files (more on this below), iTunes purchased songs have a .m4p extension.

    So why the gripe over music quality?

    First off let me state that "music quality" is subjective. It is influenced by the equipment you use to listen to it on, the type of music you listen to, how the music was recorded in the first place, and finally - your ear.

    The gripe is that 128kbps is about as low as you go for music quality.



    AAC - often referred to as "Apple Audio Codec" actually stands for "Advanced Audio Coding" (thanks Roger), m4a file extension, lossy codec, considered by some to be an improvement over standard MP3.

    Protected AAC - AAC with DRM, m4p file extension, lossy codec,


    So You could try Converting them to these file types, but make sure you keep the original MP3


    If this Helped Rate it.
