toltech told me his mp3s weren't working so I checked it out and it seems recently uploaded mp3s don't seem to work in Windows media player 9 or 10... This includes the atomic children tracks I put up yesturday... Other mp3s that I have seem to work fine.

I checked with winamp 5 and mp3s read fine, VLC fine, Audacity fine... Ok and here is the killer.. I opened it in MPLAYER2, which is windows media player 6.4, from 1999, and it worked! FUCK...

SO basically, if you use windows media player, get a better program...

from microsofts website:

3.16 Why can't I play an MP3 file?
If you receive a message that contains error codes 0xC00D0BB8 or 0xC00D1199 when trying to play an .mp3 file, the problem might be because the file has a compressed or unsynchronized ID3 header that Windows Media Player does not support for security reasons.

For unsynchronized ID3 headers, see article 814129, "Error in Windows Media Player 9 Series When You Play Specific MP3 Files," in the Microsoft Knowledge Base.

For compressed headers or other ID3v2 data, you can use a tag editing program to remove the information. For example, you can use the Advanced WMA Workshop, available from the LitexMedia Web site. Or, you can use Winamp 2.x, available from the Winamp Web site. To use Winamp 2.x, do the following:

1.
Open the file in Winamp.
2.
In the Playlist window, right-click the file, and then click File Info.
3.
Clear the ID3v1 tag and ID3v2 tag check boxes.
4.
Click Update.

sometime this week i will make it remove all id3v2 tags and replace it with id3v1 tags for all tracks... hopefully that will fix the problems...

it sucks even more when someone hosts your music for free and gets no thanks for the money he spends.

noah gets a lot of thanks, I'm pretty sure he also wants the site running the best it can for example mentioning problems that happen...

There are people who pay to have music / mixes hosted...
