Hi,
I have an (old) Toshiba SD 220E DVD Player, and an mp3-Player in my car (Mazda6). I have the same problem with them. They will not play some of (not same) the mp3-files. Few files are not playable in my car, few in DVD-Player.
I think, it has to something with the quality/attributes of the files. I am alomost sure, that my DVD-Player doesn't plays a file if the bitrate is below 96bit/sec.
Can someone tell me, what are the "standard" attributes for mp3 files? Of course, I mean, which files/attributes are the "simpliest" to play for dvd-players and stand-alone mp3-players. What types of attributes usually the dvd-players can not deal with?
My next question is, how can I ensure/check/change those attributes? Any suggestion for freeware tools? I found this tool: 4Musics MP3 Bitrate Changer. I would change those unplayable mp3-files and burn them again if neccessary.
Actually, I would like to convert all of my mp3 to make them as siple as possible, so any mp3 or dvd-player can play them, but I don't know how to do it, what are the options, what tool to use it.
I would be very thankful if anybody could give me some tipps.
cheers
cumi

Well for max compatibility you should probably avoid VBR encoding. Although my car head unit (Alpine CDA-9851), DVD players (Zensonic, Pioneer & Nintaus) handle VBR files fine. Could be an issue with older equipment. Never tried anything below 96kb.
I guess 320k could also be an issue so I guess between 96 and 256 CBR should be safe. -
Can you suggest a good (freeware) Programm, that can display all the possible Attributes of an mp3 File?

Sure, but if you stick with 96-256k CBR and only use ID3 1 tags then it should work fine on anything. Also probably stick with 44.1KHz 2 channels.
Mr. Questionman is a usefull app, although I wouldn't say that it displays all attributes. -
Problem solved.
I reconverted a problematic Files using WinLame (simply mp3->mp3) with following attributes:
Joint Stereo
CBR
128kbs -
hi,
I usually go for 192 bitrate (quality). I use cdex for converting music's cd's to mp3 and I change it to 192, Hight quality, joint sterio. and 44100. If I am just getting mp3's and I am not able to find one with 192. I record it to 192, 44100 with mp3directcut. I also have mp3's players and it works great for mine and mp3direct cut and cdex are both freeware and no spyware.
