Exporting MP3's files.

Post by aladdin » Mon Oct 15, 2007 8:19 pm

Hi everybody. When I try to export MP3's files, everything seems OK and I normally get a valid MP3 files. Where's the problem? The problem is that this file can't be played by external devices: my stereo, my car CD player, my i-pod should read it like any other MP3 file, but nothing happens instead. The file sounds like silence. What can I do? Is there the famous switch button, that's hidden somewhere and that solve my problem?

When the export asked you to select the ID3 tag, did you pick "More Compatible" or leave it "More Flexible?"

What should it be?

I have been using "more flexible" but I have not tried it in anything beyond the computer, but I intend to.

"More Compatible" arranges the MP3 file structure so many more different music applications are happy.
