Some songs play, some don't

Hi,

I have this problem aswell. All my files are mp3 format, I am using the latest version:
Version: Songbird/0.7.0rc3 (20080814025613) XPCOMViewer/0.9a (2008072921) Build 705

Although I've had the same problem with pretty much all versions.
My O/S is vista Business
Files are located on my hard drive ( i can send you an mp3?)
I'm importing by going file > import media > and selecting a folder

Thanks for your help!

hi, i have the same problem.the songs songbird doesn't play are imported from cd to hard drive. so only songs directly downloaded from the internet are played, though all are mp3s.

I installed the latest version ( Version: Songbird/0.7.0 (20080819112708) (2008072921) Build 716 ) and all my music is playing :s

Hi,
on my iMac (Intel) this problem persists even with the actual songbird version:
- file format is mp3
- Songbird/0.7.0 (20080819113227) (2008072921) Build 716
- OS X 10.5.4
- all mp3 files are located in a subfolder of the public folder ("all users") , that means the working ones as well as those refusing to play
- all files did exist before in this folder as mp3s,
- and in iTunes (as well as in all my other apps as e.g. FolderPlayer) they behave normally...

First I thought this could be a problem of user rights because the metadata information of the non playing files can't be edited in Songbird (warning on top of the 'title editor'). But I was wrong, the rights were o.k. (777)

Thank you for your effort.

Maybe try this?

The trick there is to disable the add-on Windows Media Playback, then restart Songbird.

I had a similar problem (some files not playing) and this worked for me.

Hi Herman,
thanks for your hint! Unfortunately, there's no Windows Media Playback addon installed : I'm on a MAC... I already disabled all addons but no way, the bug persists.
I wonder if this might be a general problem with the os x audio drivers (core audio)? Does anybody else does have this playback problem?
Thanks anyway!
