AzureSun Posted August 10, 2003 Report Share Posted August 10, 2003 I was using Cyberlink's MP3 utility with Windows Media Player 9 to create a few MP3s for the music folder in Battlecruiser. Even though they are in the same MP3 format (128 KBPS Bit rate, 2 Channels for stereo, and a 44 KHz audio sample rate)they do not play in the game. Instead only the track bcm_phantom that comes with the game plays and no others. If I delete the new tracks then the rest of the music plays fine. Does anyone have any ideas as why this is or have any suggestions? Thanks, AzureSun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cmdr Nova Posted August 12, 2003 Report Share Posted August 12, 2003 First thing: Register and put your info in your sig. This is required. Hm. MP3s, eh? Look at ID3 tags. I don't recall any changes to this since BCM, but ID3v2 tags seem to cause a problem. Also, long filenames. I've used ID3-Tagit to remove the ID3 tags completely, and rename the files to something short. I mean, just to be on the safe side. See if that doesn't help.

Gordon Posted August 12, 2003 Report Share Posted August 12, 2003 Also make sure that when converting music to MP3's that you use a CBR (constant bit rate) because if I recall correctly when I used VBR (variable bit rate) it did not work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzureSun Posted August 13, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2003 The ID3-tagit program did the trick. Thanks Commander Nova! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korgmeister Posted August 15, 2003 Report Share Posted August 15, 2003 IMO, ID3v2.0 has generally been more trouble than it's worth. Whenever I make the mistake of letting my CD Converter program use it, it includes a disturbingly exhaustive list of inane trivia about the band lifted from the FreeCD database. And yes, that's without mentioning said compatibility issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
