I am not familiar with the site where you bought the files, but Im guessing there is something a bit odd about their file format.

Re: [slim] Can't Play Digital Music Purchases! Help?
It may just be that there was something odd about these particular downloaded files in terms of file format (that LMS didn't like). Have you downloaded files from different sources and they all exhibited the problem. Or is the problem limited to a set of files from one vendor? *Home:* VBA 4TB (2.4)>LMS 7.9.1>Transporter, Touch, Boom, Radio (ethernet) *Cottage:* VBA 3TB (2.4)>LMS 7.9.1>Touch> Benchmark DAC I, Boom, Radio w/Battery (ethernet except Radio) *Office:* Win8(64) > LMS 7.9.1>Squeezelite *Wilderness: *PiCorePlayer 4.0 on rPi 3B+, hifiberry Dac+Pro, 4TB USB (LMS & Squeezelite) *Controllers:* iPhone6 & iPadAir2 (iPeng & Squeezepad), CONTROLLER, or SqueezePlay 7.8 on Win10(64) laptop *Files:* ripping: dbpoweramp > FLAC; post-rip: mp3tag, PerfectTunes; Streaming: Spotify garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109641 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Can't Play Digital Music Purchases! Help?
THANKS VERY MUCH FOR ALL THE HELP EVERYONE. I REALLY APPRECIATE IT! Update: I bought another album from the same web site (showup records). This time I bought it and downloaded it on to my home mac then transferred the new album to my external drive. Like the last album, it would not show up when scanned. I had to batch convert from the downloaded AIFF format to FLAC on the mac, then put that version on to my external, then it showed up when scanned, properly tagged. It's good to at least have a solution, but it's still frustrating to be stuck with a kludge for buying digital music.

slartibartfast wrote: > Have you tried reconverting to FLAC? > > > Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk Ok, finally that worked! I had to download a to-flac converter for mac. Converted the AIFF files to flac on my home mac, and then copied to my external drive. Scanned, and it all showed up, artwork and everything. Ok, so what is my lesson going forward here? I still don't really understand why this would be necessary. Do I have to plan to re-convert every digital album I download on to my work mac? Is there any reason I might not have to do this with my home mac ? (My home mac is actually my previous work mac that I have as a spare computer...I can't imagine why one would be any more trouble to purchase music with than the other).

[slim] Herb Alpert - Music Volume 1 in Hi Res 96/24
I have been downloading some albums by Herb Alpert from the HDTracks site. These albums are available in Hi Res either in 96/24 or 88/24. All the albums I have downloaded play perfectly with one exception. One of his most recent albums called Music Volume 1. When I play tracks from this album via my Transporter I get no audio at all. The track name appears on Transporter screen but no audio plays. Initially I thought the files I had downloaded were faulty in some way, but these files play on my computer without any problems. Also, I can play these tracks on my iPhone using an app called Flacbox. I have other Hi Res 96/24 files that play perfectly on my Transporter so I am very puzzled why only this one album will not play properly. If anyone has any ideas Id be very grateful.

Re: [slim] Can't Play Digital Music Purchases! Help?
I'm very, very new to the world of buying digital music outside of the apple ecosystem. For most of my years since using a server, I've either ripped my CDs or downloaded music, all via the itunes interface. I wanted a dedicated system for streaming (hence the pi/logitech system), and to step out in the bold new world outside apple's offerings. Including hi-res downloads. So it was a bummer for my first purchases to not work easily. I'll try some HD downloads soon.

When you tried to use the original files you unzipped the downloaded folder ? I use Bandcamp a lot and they always download as a zipped archive .
