Cant play podcasts

trinitys_mate · 04-05-2008, 11:07

I bought an 8gb DAB D2 a couple of weeks ago, I used to use Juice to download podcasts onto my old mp3 player (which I lost about a year ago). I had a new pc at christmas with vista64 on it. I then found out juice wont work on vista, so i downloaded itunes and itunes sync to get my podcasts.
I can get itunes and the D2 to sync and put the podcasts onto the D2 but when I go to play them on the player the folders show up as having tracks in them but when you open it nothing shows up.
When I open the folders through my pc they all show up and play fine.

Any ideas guys?

Maybe you've downloaded an unsupported format? m4a?

Thanks so much stabb. When i looked into it i noticed all the ones that were not working were m4a files, i had never heard of m4a before and i presumed that with them playing on wmp they should work on the D2. I have used itunes to convert them to WAV files and they work ok now.

No problem :]. Wav files are big. Try converting them to mp3 to save some space.
