Hi I'm having trouble loading some songs on my Galaxy Ace Android.
I've had a Galaxy Ace for nearly a 1-2 years now. I've run across a problem with 10-25 songs that I have put onto my phone using Kies or simply copying them into the phone (media or a new folder) in My Computer. Whenever I try and play these specific songs I get this error in the built in media player "Sorry, this player does not support this type of audio file". I've tried different links from Google all with no success.
My phone is a Galaxy Ace
Model number: GT-S5830i
Android version: 2.3.6
The media players that I have tried to use on my phone are:
Winamp
Default media player
Boomboxoid
Meridian
Poweramp
Player Pro
None of these work. Sometimes the files do not show any length of the audio e.g. should be 2:05 length but instead it shows nothing. Sometimes the files will lose everything e.g. album and artists. I'm copying from a CD however it is a second hand CD. When these files show the length of the audio sometimes they play fine when I first put them onto the phone however a short while after this they all either do not play at all and I get the message or they play the first 2-5 seconds of the song before moving onto the next song in the list.
I have attempted a factory reset of my phone with no success to the problem. I have copied hundreds of songs from CD's to my phone with no problems except for these few songs. They are identical to the working songs in the properties e.g. mp3 format, bit rate between 200+kbps and 300+kbps. These songs work on my Windows 7 pc in both VLC player and Windows default media player.
They are [FONT="]definitely[/FONT] all mp3's, I have actually attempted a converting of some of these songs using VLC player to make them into an "Audio - MP3" in the profile (it auto selects RAW encapsulation, MP3 + 320kb/s bit rate + 2 channels + 44100 sample rate on the Audio codec). I have used a program to detect any WAV files which none were found (winamp and poweramp should be able to play WAV files anyway so this is not the case).
I have no clue as to what is making these specific songs bug out like this. screenshots of the songs properties before loading them on the phone via Kies shows a summary including: File Type: MP3
DRM: NonDRM
File Size: 4.57MB
Length: 02:21
Bit Rate: 271kbps
Sample Rate: 44kHz
Date Modified: 04/09/2013 20:34:40
However after the songs have been transfered onto the phone, USB connection disconnected and the phone being left for 5-10 minutes then USB connection reattached the kies properties of the songs show:
File Type: MP3
DRM: NonDRM
File Size: 4.57MB
So all the properties of the songs are gone and are now unplayable in both the android media players and windows pc media players. Anyone got any solutions to this? I'm willing to rebuy the music files online however I'd rather wait until I know for certain this is a problem with the song files before paying for the same songs and having the same problems (they are from a 2nd hand CD so maybe they are corrupted). Thanks.
