I've tried ali's suggestion, didnt make a difference.

Yes, looking at that bug report, it does appear the same (or very similar) to my problem.

Hi Clamm, no problem still not sorted yet. Does the error log mean anything to you?

Juli, thanks for your suggestion. Unfortunately the issue isn't caused by me renaming any directories or anything similar. This isnt an issue that has started to happen one day. Songbird has never worked for me and has had this problem since I installed it. Even if I delete the entire library and then add the tracks again from scratch, it still doesn't play.

Remember as well that it only seems to be mp3's it wont play. Wavs play fine. Unlucky for me as about 95% of my library is mp3

In the error console, the message below keeps coming up, with the number 1677 (in this instance) increasing by one for each track not played

Error: GStreamer error: Internal data flow error. Additional information: gstbasesrc.c(2240): gst_base_src_loop (): /player/uridecodebin1677/source:
streaming task paused, reason not-negotiated (-4)

Hi Clamm,

I've tried playing tracks from the desktop but they won't work either. I've actually realised that Songbird wont play mp3's. It plays wav, flac and others but not mp3's, regardless of the drive it is on and regardless of the bitrate of the mp3.

Hi, thanks for the replies

rsjtdrjgfuzkfg, I tried dragging and dropping tunes, I even tried deleting the entire library, then importing my music through songbird rather than from itunes, didnt work.

Clamm, yes I am using an external hard disk. Doe songbird not work with these? The external drive works fine with all other music apps.
