Music

Problem
My songs will not
play.
I cannot hear my
music after I turn on
my PC.
I cannot add music
files to the iTunes or
My Music music
library by using my
remote control.
Codec errors are
occurring when I
play certain files.
Possible solution
Make sure your songs are in a supported format. Locate the songs on
your PC and determine the format. Some common supported file types
are MP3, Unprotected WMA, AAC, WAV, and AIFF. Audio files must
be in a supported format to play in iTunes, Windows Media Player,
and Media Center.
Check the properties for the audio file to determine whether the file is in
Protected or Unprotected WMA format. iTunes cannot import or play
WMA files that are protected by Windows Media Digital Rights
Management (DRM). Windows Media Player cannot play .aac files.
Some models and hardware configurations require that you turn on
your TV and the PC to hear your music files.
You must open iTunes or Windows Media Player with your keyboard
and mouse to add music files to your music library. After you add your
music files, you can access them with the remote control in Media
Center.
To add music files to iTunes music Library, see "Adding Music to the
iTunes music Library" on page 54. To add music files to Windows
Media Player Library, see "Adding Music to My Music Library" on
page 59.
To open iTunes or Windows Media Player, click Start, choose All
Programs, and then click iTunes or Windows Media Player.
Codec is an abbreviation for compressor-decompressor. A codec is
software or hardware used to compress and decompress digital media.
If you get a codec error when playing an audio file, open the file in
Windows Media Player. If you have configured Windows Media
Player to automatically download codecs and the correct codec is
available, then your file should play. You must be connected to the
Internet to download the codec file.
