iTunes installer updated quicktime and everything



I ripped the nirvana unplugged album in 192 AAC and itunes won't play it...



What gives?



EDIT: OK iTunes doesn't wanna play any cds ripped or straight from the cdrom drives. Tried from two internal and one external firewire drive. I've tried with many cds all which work in every media app except iTUNES suchas WMP REAL WINAMP. I've reinstalled itunes 3 times and rebooted after each install. I don't get it. 4.1 works flawlessly on my two macs. DAMN PC! hehehe. Any help people?

    You're gonna have to give more/better details than that. In the meantime.



    #1 Remember it's Windows. So reboot and try again

    #2 Rip a track in mp3 and WAV to see if it's just AAC

    #3 Rip a track from a differnent CD to see if it's just that CD

    It appears iTunes ripped only 50 kb files for each track. Odd. Gonna try ripping a different cd. And i have rebooted.



    using windows xp 1.6ghz p4 512 rdram nothing other than itunes running.

    Its not ripping any audio. all i get are 50 kb files of the track names.



    I have reset the ripping prefs to default and it still doesn't rip audio.

    This is how Apple gets people to switch. When you look up the solution to this problem it reads: Buy a Mac.

    is your cd-rom connected to your soundcard? the one that you're ripping from. I had a simliar problem with my pc like 2 years ago with the same problem.

    Ripping CDs does not use the sound card.

    I didn't think it did. iTunes wont' even play the CDs. WMP will.

    I reinstalled and rebooted. Tried from both external firewire drive and internal drive and ituness will not read cd. REAL PLAYER does and WMP does. Very annoying.

    iTunes should play the CD's. Your problem is in your system settings somewhere.

    Keeping in mind that you were on your Windows machine, I thought you meant reinstall your OS at first...



    Good luck.
