Music will not play

[Ronniebootwest]

I have recently been sorting out a few problems with my PC and now when I make a new PTE slide show the music will not play (mp3 files)

I uninstalled the latest version and then reinstalled version 4.4 (Iknow that worked before). When I create a test show with just 10 slides and set the options to 'synchronise' the music will just not play when I select 'preview'

However, if I go ahead and create the .exe the show plays as normal (including music)

Any ideas please

The only time that I have encountered any problems like this is when the music has inadvertantly been put in twice, its worth a check!

Hi, I have very recently begun using Pictures to Exe and I'm having a similar problem to the one that you describe.

I am running version 4.45 on Windows XP version 2002 and my hardware is a HP Pavilion with Pentium ®4.

I am not an expert in systems / IT but the problem I am experiencing is that when I set up a slide show I can't get music to play. I have copied the music from a cd using Windows Media Player. The track appears in the library which seems to mean that it has been successfully ripped from the CD.

When I set up the slide show and select "customise slide" it shows the track that I want to select. I highlight this and hit the "ok" button

When I run the "preview " the slides run ok. but there is no sound. I believe I have set up the process correctly and ticked te appropriate boxes but just cannot get the music to play.

Can anyone help me to sort this out. I shall be grateful for any advice.

Thanks

Ronnie

Hi Ken..........yes it plays when I click on the track shown in the Library. I'm relatively new to this but I think the extension is WMA.....is this what you mean ?

try ripping it to mp3 from windows media player

or use

dBpowerAMP Music Converter

or

use audacity and save as mp3

Ronnie if its a wma file there is a possibility you have run up against the dreaded DRM (Digital Rights Management). Wma is always best avoided for this reason, and stick with mp3. Try to convert your music to mp3 with your prefered application, and if it refuses then drm is the problem. Not sure how the completed exe file handles the music but windows is unlikely to see it in the original wma format so it will play OK.

Hope this is of some help
