Hi,I've pushed a few songs that I've recorded on my DAW PC up to my taxi hosting page (www.taxi.com\teleblaster --> Leaning Tower and Made For Each Other) These files won't play back on that same machine. WMP starts up and immediately posts an error dialog stating some garbage about invalid file format. The files will launch and play from my laptop and my kids computer. And, files that weren't pushed up from that computer will play back on it fine.Anyone seen this before, or have any ideas what's going on. It's not a huge thing, the files will play for the TAXI reviewer, but it's a hassle.Thx

I have had a similar problem with files uploaded to Soundclick. Either lofi or both wouldn't play. I began having trouble when I went from cdex to Switch, and ended when I started doing all my mp3s in Cool Edit... They would also play fine on my machine but nowhere else. Might be your conversion prog.

Teleblaster, do the files open in WMP on your laptop and kids computer?Greg.

Yes,My laptop and my kids PCs both use WMP to play back the files. I'm using Sound Forge 9.0 to create the mp3s which AFAIK creates perfectly compliant files

I use WMP as my default player and I went to " Vicky the Bass Player" Taxi page to listen to some of her songs that got forwarded and got the same message on 3/4 of her playlist. "I let her know about this". I went to WMP help section and it said in part that the problem has to do with ID3 tags. I think "ibanez" had the same problem.Greg.

Hi Teleblaster, is this happening when streaming files or when downloaded?

You might try iTunes. It's free from Apple and runs on both PC and Mac. The encoding sounds good and I've never had a problem with uploading or downloading files using it. It has some nice features to organize your music as well.Mazz
