Why does some mp3s do not play on Itunes

I am thinking of transferring to Itunes from windows media player but this little thing is holding me up , some sound tracks does not play on itunes when i open them i just hear w small beep for a split of a seconed and then another song plays no errors or nothing , so i open the mp3 in adobe sound booth save as and it works on itunes , N.B those tracks work on media player , do some one have any solution to my problem ? maybe some codecs for itunes? , this happens on mac OS also and some tracks do play on quick time but not on itunes

 

update : i found a fix for mp3s to work on itunes , it appears like some mp3s are corrupted with hash in the beginning of the file , read full description, solution here http://trevinchow.com/blog/2008/09/17/fix-for-mp3-songs-not-playing-in-itunes/

 

Great find! I had this problem, but what I did was download the music I had again In the end, I got frustrated with iTunes and migrated to MediaMonkey, which plays FLAC (I own few tens of GB of this format) which iTunes can't, sadly.

Another thing, the link you posted above has a typo: the word "fnot" in the URL should be "not".

 

i repaired it , thanks
