I have to make a confession first. I don't own more than 4 CD's and almost never listen to music ... however... I am trying to figure out how to listen to my music that I DO have!
Here's the story. A few years back (2005) my hubby copied the songs off my CD's onto an MP3 player as .wma files. So far so good. I listened to them maybe once and then put the MP3 player somewhere and forgot it .... found it again on Friday and thought . hey! I have a mac now - maybe I can listen to my songs. So I copied them onto the mac and that's as far as I got.
itunes just does not seem to recognise them; quicktime says there is an "error with the video" when I try and play them and windows player (in the parallels window) refused to play them because it could not access the internet (HUH?) - I was in Macau this weekend with no connection. I tried converting them into MP3 files, but the free converter I had downloaded just gives me error messages that don't make any sense to me.
Anyone any ideas? This stuff is all new to me - I've never really been into this whole "mobile music" thing....They play on the MP3 player so I know they are not corrupt, but why the heck won't my mac/pc play them?
