Gen3 does play mp3 files

kurstjens · 05-27-2009, 03:09 PM

Hi i have uploaded succesfully mp3 files on the cybook, however new files I have uploaded are not recognised. The files are on the sd card or internal memory but are not visible in the library or can be played. Can anybody help me?

t2b files are basically the thumbnail displayed in the library view, so they cannot be played.

Are you sure that your files are real MP3?

Does they display in the music list when you push the "music" button?

I'm unsure if BooReader will only display a listing of mp3 files, or display them after verify them...

I have uploaded the mp3 files in the same way(aprox. 30 mp3's), but only a few show in the list if I push the music button. It is strange in first instance it went ok but the last two times not all the files are in the list, they are stored in the memory but cannot be played.

Maybe the Cybook cannot handle VBR-encoded mp3s, you could check if the mp3s that work use a fixed bitrate and the ones that don't use a variable bitrate.

And are you sure that they are MP3 and now "disguised" WMA or AAC audio files? (ie non MP3 audio file renamed with a mp3 extension)

Yes founf the problem, not all the files were transferred as MP3 files. Problem solved. Remaining issue is however the fact that for reason the ebook places the mp3 files in random order, not per artist or album. Am I doning something wrong?

Cybook is sorting by filename/Title.
You could make folders by artist and/or album, and then sort by file path in your Cybook.
