Thread: ALAC wont play

  1. #1

    ALAC wont play

    Which is most of my music. I upgraded to 7.5 & am using a Mac with the latest version of 10.5
    Ive cleared my library and reimported and even upgraded to the latest build. The tracks show up but just sit at zero with no play.
    I have an SB3, Touch should be here in a few days.
    Any help?
    Thanks.

    PS Hello!
    Do you have iTunes & Quicktime installed? And are they able to play your files?

    Try out Whitebear. The middleware that joins the two worlds of:

    Yes. The files play fine on the computer.

    I can play my mp3s fine though. Weird. And it all shows up properly.

    See this item - the developers changed it for 7.5 and unfortunately QA seemed to miss the problem!

    So what do I do? Will it be fixed very soon? Downgrade? Run naked in the street?

    That thread/post isn't applicable here: you're on Mac, and SBS on Mac doesn't use faad.exe (I think I'm right in saying) as Mac doesn't speak .exe.

    Try uninstalling and deleting everything to do with SBS, preferences, logs, and SBS files in your Playlist folder (if you use one) and reinstall. That always used to fix alac probs on windows!

    Of course Macs do not use .exe but still faad et al are used.

    Your best bet would be to use the latest 7.4.x build as alac support has not improved with 7.5.x.
