| Is it an mp3 or an ogg file? iTunes will not play mp3Pro files. That's a format designed for very low bit-rate encoding of say between 60-120 kbps. I'll use a different player in that case. If i want to burn it, then my burner program should recognise it. If it doesn't then the file itself might be corrupt.

| If I get a basic mp3 file that won't play in iTunes I try it with real player. If that works I scratch my head and think ...why did I do that ... if it doesn't work on iTunes I don't want it anyway ...unless it's something very rare and special. There may be a way of getting it to copy to iTunes, but I have yet to work it out. If it doesnt work in Real Player I trash it.

| There's also Audion which is now free: http://www.panic.com/audion/download.html I find it generally plays what iTunes can't import or play. If not, then take Only A Hobo's last piece of advice. Though, I suppose you could also try VLC as well. There's times iTunes won't import when LW is too busy. There's times when iTunes won't import due to lack of id3 tags. So if it opens it Audion, add id3 tags to it to see if that helps.

(BTW as a note Only A Hobo, check the Albumwrap sticky again. I found a OSX utility which seems to succeed with those files that albumwrap extractor can't. It's a multi-purpose extractor utility called Juice. (Just set in the prefs to only extract mp3's/mp4.) Unfortunately not all albumwrap files are wrapped with albumwrap so A.W. can't extract them.)
