reason will not be analyzed. In the Task Queue the error message
that comes up with these files is 'Failed to determine
AudioFileFormat for (Song Title)'. The files play fine in iTunes,
Windows Media Player, as well as Quicktime.</p>
<p>The items that I want analyzed are BPM, color, Key, and genre.
For whichever reason, this problem only occurs with a select few
songs of mine (maybe 50 out of ~35,000 audio files). Any insight
that you could provide as to why these are being troublesome would
be greatly appreciated. Thank you.</p></div>C.V. Bernardtag:help.beatunes.com,2009-07-24:Comment/16297082010-05-10T12:28:35Z2010-05-10T12:28:35ZAudioFileFormat Issue<div><p>Hi,</p>
<p>even though the file has an mp3 extension, it is in fact an mp2
file.</p>
<p>beaTunes uses QuickTime to open the file and fails, as the
extension does match the contents. As a matter of fact, on OS X
QuickTime Player can't open the file labeled as mp3 either. Rename
it to a mp2 extension and things work just fine.</p>
<p>You might want to check the Get Info dialog of iTunes - it says
Mpeg-1, Layer 2.</p>
<p>Hope this helps,</p>
