I purchased 4 songs rom Amazon this year and have all 4 in a Play List in MediaMonkey and in Windows Media Player labeled "2014 Song Additions" in both. For some reason, at first only 1 would stream. Then the second started to stream a day later.
However, 2 of those songs will not stream. They both play fine in MM and WMP. I have them in other playlists as well but even there those 2 songs will not stream. They also play fine on my Amazon Kindle Fire HDX.
Does anyone have ideas on what is wrong?
Mitch,
I used to own a Pioneer N-50 network audio player which would take the huff with tracks having an embedded image greater than 1MB in size. Not only did it refuse to play the track, but also stalled and then automatically rebooted itself. The relevant tracks would play correctly on computers. Even though I no longer own this player/renderer I still habitually make sure my album covers are under 1MB in size.
I do not use MP3 or wireless connectivity, but when experiencing similar problems with FLAC files I head straight to the file's metadata via Mp3tag, and nine out of ten times I am able to cure the problem. Have you tried making copies of your tracks, deleting extraneous metadata, and seeing if they will then stream to your Grace players?
As daft as it may sound, I have previously converted current FLAC files to FLAC for a second time within Winamp to circumvent issues as well. It would appear this encoding functionality within MediaMonkey must to be paid for. Maybe you know how to do this already, but here goes anyway. Within MediaMonkey, right-click on track > Send to... > Folder (Rip/Convert) > Convert to > Convert Files box, including Destination, Format, and Settings > OK button.
Hope this helps.
John.
