SA (PC) mp3 problem

Up until 10 days ago, I could use my custom mp3s in GTA:SA (PC).

Now.. it wont detect them. I have tried the "manually scan user tracks"
option.. but it wont find any songs..

I have tried putting in .mp3 files.. and also shortcuts to mp3s..


Any ideas? Anybody had this bug?

I have already re-installed the game. [Maybe I need to format the entire
PC]..

Hey do let me know the results. I got Quicktime installed and was never
able to use mp3 for GTA ....thanks!

I wouldn't piss on Quicktime.

They are as bad as Real... I use Real and Quicktime Alternate. How
their codec stops mp3 playback boggles the mind.

People on this forum say it could be conflicting with Quicktime.

I DID install Quicktime around the same time that this GTA bug started
occuring.

How strange. I will uninstall quicktime, and see if that fixes the bug.

Yes! I had this problem for ages.

My fix was to install quicktime and THEN do a quicktime update from within
the quicktime player. After that my MP3s magicly played correctly from
within GTA:SA. I only have shortcuts in the ".....My Documents\GTA San
Andreas User Files\User Tracks" folder and these work fine.

You can extract the music from the game and burn it to cd
or play it in your favourite mp3 player, using the utility available here:

http://www.thegtaplace.com/pafiledb.php?action=file&id=560

Bear in mind most of the in game tracks are about 3 minute radio edits, I
don't know if this is the case for the tracks on the soundtrack cds.

I used the above file. I choose DJ#2. I then converted
all 11 folders to .wav then burned each to CD so we'll see. I later
re-extracted the audio and choose no DJ and I thought it was better. The
DJ's are very funny though

You might also want to try WinLame at
http://winlame.sourceforge.net/download.php . This file will convert your
..ogg files to MP3 or several other formats so each radio station can be
created as a seperate cd.

Good Luck

Peace

Uninstalling Quicktime did not fix the problem.

I will try what 'Paul W' said and install quicktime, then update it.

Uninstalling Quicktime did NOT fix the mp3 issue. I still cannot play mp3s
in GTA.

I will try installing it again. Then try updating to the newest version.
(However, before the uninstall, I think I was using the newest version).
