playing audition room mp3 - help
on: January 02, 2008, 11:19:19 PM
When I click on an mp3 attachment in the audition room it seems to download but won't play. A message tells me that real player does nor support this and when I click details it simply says php. I can play and record other mp3 material so can anyone tell me what to do please.

This same thing happened to me when I would open it in a temporary file.  If you save the file onto your computer, it should solve the problem and you should be able to then open it and play it.  I don't know why it's like that though.

Sounds like mp3's are associated with real player.  Try associating mp3's with quicktime, or winamp instead. 

Real player has allays seemed buggy to me because of the REAL presence of so many ads!

Oh yeah, hee hee.  I didn't even think about that because I use real player as my default player.  You are right, quantum !

Thanks m1469 (et al), I tried saving it first and it played immediately with no problems - in real player! All I want now is for someone to listen and comment to my 'Fernando Sor' post in the Audition room. Thanks again. Les

Poems of Ecstasy – Scriabin’s Complete Piano Works Now on Piano Street

The great early 20th-century composer Alexander Scriabin left us 74 published opuses, and several unpublished manuscripts, mainly from his teenage years – when he would never go to bed without first putting a copy of Chopin’s music under his pillow. All of these scores (220 pieces in total) can now be found on Piano Street’s Scriabin page. Read more
