I am absolutely a 100% satisfied mp3 Fiesta customer, but there is a problem.
Not one of the 100 plus mp3's i have downloaded will play in Sony Vegas (video editor), or Acid 7 (audio editor/mixing). i get an error message stating that the file is corrupt or that i need to make sure i have read access to the file folder, which i do.
it seems highly unlikely that every file would be corrupt, and i can see no difference in the file properties from the other mp3 files that i have downloaded elsewhere or ripped from cd. this is only a problem with the Fiesta files.
i have zero problems with burning to cd or mp3 player sync. which again would rule out corruption.
this really super sucks because i use mp3's for video score and slideshow background music. i use my audio software to create super dj style megamixes, but can't do either with the mp3 Fiesta files.
there has to be a way to fix this, any insight would be greatly appreciated.

I edit/mix etc using Sony's sound forge - Sony have a vested interest in stopping people using mp3's that they haven't licensed...my thought was...Is it the software??

I haven't used this site to download mp3's but can tell you that there is no problem with the mp3's that I have downloaded from mp3skyline.com

Yeah, my first thought was the software. The weird thing is mp3's from other sites, such as E-Music, has given me no problems. Licensing could very well be the cause even still.
it sucks, though because i have downloaded so many tracks. i wonder if there is a way to get around it.
i will give mp3skyline a shot.
sound forge is an excellent program.

Taken out of context this part would probably upset Skyforger a little bit

Thanks for catching that. let me re-phrase:
it sucks though, because i have downloaded so many tracks. i will give mp3skyline a shot.
i edited the post, so no one gets upset.
sorry for the potential confusion.

[moses808]

let me also just re-state that i am NOT unhappy with mp3Fiesta about this at all.

Hi moses808

Maybe it's something odd about the ID3 tags causing this problem? You could try stripping the tags from a track and seeing if it will load.

I had the same problems treaming to my PS3 ... was doing a search on the net on google and came across this post!!

Removing ID3 tags sorted the problem

Find ID3-Tagit on the net (It's Free)

On ID3-Tagit
Open the folder with the mp3's in it.
Select All (Ctrl-A)
Copy Ver 1&2 Tag Info (Ctrl-Shift-C)
Remove ver1 tag info (Ctrl-F11)
Remove Ver2 Tag Info (Ctrl-F12)
Save (Ctrl-S)
Paste Tag Info (Ctrl-Shift-V)
Save (Ctrl-S)

Should now play .... has worked for me!!
