ripped files won't playback

[MaggieMark]

My aif files rip and everything looks good until I try to play them back. They don't play on any media player. Jriver shows an error "problems with playback". This just started. I'm new at this but was successful ripping 8 cd's and then suddenly all cd's I try to rip won't playback. Any thoughts?

Did they previously play? what is the size of the files, an aiff file should be about 30MB

Try as a test ripping to wave, do the wave files play?

Previous rips played but not these. For no reason I can detect every effort to rip any cd seems to rip fine but when I try to playback on any player it won't open the file. I did as you suggested and the same problem in wav. Then I downloaded db on a second computer. There it ripped and played back fine. I then was able to play those files on the original computer. Then on the original computer I used another ripping program (not db poweramp). It ripped wav and played back no problem. Ripped the same cd again with db in wav and again it refuses to play back.

What is the file size of one of the files which will not play?

You are right, it is small. 12kb per song file (size on disc). What do you think has happened?

Some setting which is preventing ripping,

To clear the settings and reinstall, try rip with default settings (just select AIFF).
