iTunes Won't Play MP3 Files? Convert MP3 to iTunes to Solve this Problem

You may be surprised to find that you can’t play some MP3 audio files in iTunes. Can iTunes play MP3? The answer is YES. In some cases, you can update iTunes to the latest version to resolve that iTunes won't import MP3. Nevertheless, if the problem still exists, you might as well follow the following part to figure it out.  

1. iTunes version is out of date. Update iTunes to the latest version to play the MP3 file.

2. The MP3 file is corrupt. For example, you download an MP3 song from the internet yet end the download process halfway. The downloaded file may be corrupt. Play it using QuickTime and other media players to check whether the file is intact. If it fails to play in any of the audio players you tried, you should use a repair tool to repair the MP3 file.

3. If the MP3 file plays well in QuickTime, another assertion is that it may due to unsupported ID3 tags. ID3 tags is used for storing information such as title, artist, album, track number, and so forth. When iTunes fails to read the information of the MP3 file, it can’t play the audio correctly. The direct solution to fix the problem is using an ID3 tag editor to rewrite the information.
