ITunes Plus Music does not play

Bugreport for Nokia Music PC Client

12-04-2009 18:35

Nokia Music (on Vista):
Most of my music collection is made up of mostly DRM-FREE 256 kbps AAC iTunes tracks. These are the new DRM-FREE ITUNES PLUS TRACKS, NOT THE OLD DRM TRACKS!!!! (Please take note of this because I know that the protected tracks cannot be played, but I am sure that my tracks are the iTunes Plus, DRM-free tracks). Every time I try to play these DRM-free tracks in the Nokia Music PC Application, the tracks are skipped through and do not play properly. (I do not mean like normally skipping, I mean that the tracks play for about 3 seconds each). I think this could be due to the 256 kbps bitrate of the AAC tracks. I hope that Nokia will be able to fix this bug in the next update.

This happens when you try to play DRM-FREE 256 kbps AAC (from iTunes).

If I remember correctly there is a known issue with a third party solution on the net. You may have to do a little googling or check the Nokia Discussion Foums for the solution. When I have more time I'll see if I can find the solution and e-post.

One option is to select all of your iTunes Plus files and teel itunes to convert these to AAC. AAC is a packaging type with different possibilities for the packaged contents. The Original iTunes Plus files are different to the converted versions although to you or me they appear the same. These ones should play though. Please try this a post if it works or not.

To be honest as Nokia Music PC Client has graduated it is now supported via the Nokia Discussion Forums and Nokia Care,
