My MAC is used for DJing. I use a program called MegaSeg which is run through ITunes. All my songs are MP3 not AAC. I've run IVolume and MP3 Gain programs to eradicate the fluctuation problems and it's not working. I have the newest versions of ITunes and MegaSeg and all controls need to be selected for this issue are selected. Please HELP!!! Missy Music Director Baja Sharkeez [email protected] 310-525-4999

Please write an email to the iVolume support team to get sure they see your question.
If iVolume crashes (or quits) on a song, then most probably this song is corrupt or non-standards-compliant and causes the used audio decoder to crash.
To solve the problem you can either delete the corrupt song or put it into a new group in iVolume whose adjustment mode you set to "Ignore".
You can identify a problematic song by looking into the log file that iVolume writes. Before analyzing each (new) song, iVolume writes the name and path into the log file.
On a Mac please open the file ~/Library/Logs/de.ivolume.log to look at the output of iVolume.
On Windows please enter %APPDATA% (including the percent signs) into the address bar of an Explorer window and hit the Return key. Now you should see a folder named "mani.de". In that folder you can find the log file named "iVolume.log".
Please note that iVolume analyzes multiple songs in parallel if your computer has multiple processor cores. So if there are e.g. 2 cores, the problematic song can be one of the last two songs listed in the log file.

iTunes song have DRM protection, you have to remove DRM from iTunes and convert M4a to MP3.

Hi there, your best bet would be to contact MegaSeg directly and ask for technical support from them. (You have paid for professional software and they should be able to answer you quickly and easily).

There are many things which can affect the performance of music playback.

Try to be as specific as possible: (Fluctuates ? HOW ?) Volume varies ? Stops/Starts? This way they should be able to answer you specifically.

They have a FAQ page which lists solutions to commonly asked questions. If you wish to browse through other resolutions click the link below:

iTunes uses AAC copies of music files. The Sansa Clip needs the files in WMA or MP3 format. You need to find a free audio converter online and convert the songs you want to MP3 or WMA format. Many programs will create a converted copy while still retaining the original AAC copy.

It's probably the wrong format,
"To convert a song's file format:

1. Open iTunes Preferences.
   Windows: Choose Edit > Preferences.
   Mac: Choose iTunes > Preferences.
2. Click the General button, then click the Importing Settings button in the second section of the window.
3. From the Import Using pop-up menu, choose the encoding format(Choose AAC) that you want to convert the song to, then click OK to save the settings.
4. Select one or more songs in your library, then from the Advanced menu, choose one of the following (The menu item changes to show what's selected in your Importing preferences):
   
   
   
   • Create MP3 version
     
   • Create AAC version(Choose this one)
     
   • Create AIFF version
     
   • Create WAV version
     
   • Create Apple Lossless version"
   Once this is done re-sync your iPod and you should be fine!
   Hope this helps!
   

Hi. Check that when you plug your iPod in that it isn't selected to "Shuffle," play which can happen if you are expecting to go through songs. There is also another reason and one I didnt know about until I took my iPod Classic back to my retailer thinking there was a problem;
If the songs on your iTunes or default device isn't an AAC file the iPod will fail to play it. On MAC systems simply click the file that you want to put onto your iPod, right click and scroll to "Get Info." If the file doesn't say it is an AAC file it won't play on your iPod. Scroll further down on the list to "Create AAC version." This takes milliseconds, doesn't affect the sound quality but condenses the data fit for the iPod Classic. Once that's done you can add any song you like.
Generally when you put a CD into a MAC it will automatically change the AIFF files into AAC which means you don't need to manually convert. AAC is usually needed when individual tracks are called up and put onto your iPod. I hope this helps you - it drove me nuts until I found out about the AAC.

The cobyt player is completely incompatible with iTunes. If you have songs that are in mp3 format, you can use Windows Media Player to transfer the songs to your Coby. If your songs are already in AAC (iTunes) format, you can use a free program like Media Monkey to convert UNprotected AAC files to mp3 format so that they will be usable with your Coby. Media Monkey is not capable of converting protected files.

-Tha Mp3 Doctor

Itunes uses a file format called AAC. There aren't too many players other than the Ipods that can play AAC files. This is why your songs won't play on your Sandisk player. What you need to do is get a mp3 converter, I personally recommend DBPoweramp, excellent program and can convert nearly everything. Once you convert your AAC files to mp3, they should play no problem...

This works with Barbie MP3 player model BAR901:
If the songs are iTunes Store format (copy protected AAC) you can burn them to a CD (preferably a CD-RW, which you can reuse over and over) which in effect converts then songs to AIFF format with no copy protection, then import them as MP3s back into iTunes (Advanced > Create MP3 Version). (Note: Be sure iTunes > Preferences > General > Import Settings... > MP3 encoder is selected, or you will get Create AAC Version in the menu). Make sure View > View Options... > Kind is selected so you can sort the songs by the kind info column (that is, MP3 not AAC). Then drag your new MP3s out of the window into the main level folder of the Barbie MP3 player. Erase the MP3s from iTunes if you don't need them, since you already have AAC versions. Phew, not easy.
If you have a physical CD rather than iTunes store purchase, it's way easier; just import the tunes as MP3 (Advanced > Create MP3 Version, see above) and drag them into the Barbie player's root folder. The songs play then on the MP3 player. ;-)
