Default Trouble playing albums via ITunes

Seems individual songs are going to ITunes and are playable just fine
However, there are some that appear to be albums ( they are 8-10 times larger than the others) and when I double click to play them, nothing happens.

Any ideas out there?

Thanks

Cool

Have you checked the size of the album. You might need to increase the memory allocated to iTunes. Also, open iTunes, go to the Advanced pull down menu and choose, 'convert to mp3', even if it is already in mp3 format. Also ensure you check your iTunes preferences for any posible conflict. Hope this helps. Cheers.

Default This might be Albumwrap

It is possible you have downloaded an albumwrap (ALBW) these are usually marked as such, and some are marked as such wrongly)

Albumwrap files look like ordinary mp3s but will not play un"wrapped" in iTunes. You neeed an albumwrap extractor (Google for a free download), and, if the file is an ALBW the extractor will give an easy to follow list of the contents, and you can then do as you please with the contents, which will play in iTunes in the normal way. If it is not ALBW the extractor will tell you.

I have found some large mp3s will not play atall, and this is probably a bad file.

The problem is that you can preview a small file to see if it is OK but AFAIK you cannot preview an ALBW. you have to wait for the whole thing to D/L. I am no expert, just relating what I have found out from experience with three or four files.
