VP14 problems recognizing / importing Youtube legit MP3 downloads

MP3 Songs that are downloaded from the youtube creator studio will not properly import or play.

Workaround: recode to WAV via 3rd party app.

Just downloaded "Calmant - Calming" and it's playing OK. Which tracks are giving you trouble, and what exactly are the symptoms?

I was using Pressure and Microchip. Firstly, being MP3, I couldn't see them in the Explorer unless I would enable 'all files'. when you context-click PLAY, it's just garble/trash playing...

cheers Nick! I will try to post some more details maybe we can find the culprit ;-)

Took that video down cuz my serial number was on show. Does your computer play other audio OK in Vegas? e.g. WAV files?

yes it does. also, I can play the original DL'ed files fine in other applications (have done the transcode with VLC..) - I looked at your profile..(good man!!), you recon it has to do with Win10 'anniversary' running the underlying media manager in the ground??, I run the latest 64bit version on offer [Win10Home/V1607/build 14393.82]. sorry will provide samples later haven't quite worked out how to record them the easiest way..

thanks ;-)

It could most certainly be a problem with Windows 10 Anniversary edition, but someone else with that version would have to test that because I have rolled back to Windows 10 Pro version 1511 (for a few months, until it's forced on me) because Windows 10 Anniversary edition broke my Media Manager.

btw, that windows anniversary edition also broke my boot, system, forcing twice complete reformat & reinstall, yes, I know, but now I'm there... at the point of no return..

There was a rollback you could do within, I think, 30 days. And I actually was able to do that a few days beyond the 30. Then there are a couple of ways in the Windows settings that you can postpone the inevitable. On my things-to-do list is to track down the image file of my old Windows 8.1 installation to apply if the Anniversary edition still irreversibly breaks my MM when it comes. Or perhaps by then someone will have worked out a way to block the forced update. Everything was going too well. This Anniversary edition is like the ghost of Vista appearing.

Somehow between Google, the archive search, hundreds of bookmarks, CTRL+F, manual trawling, and voodoo, I get it done. https://www.vegascreativesoftware.info/us/forum/how-do-i-search-the-forum--103150/ Very much looking forward to the forthcoming search feature!
