there are a few songs of mine that just will not play, when i click the play button literally nothing at all happens. when i try to "make an mp3 file" (i did this just for a test) i get a error -50

i have the most recent version of itunes and only 1 addon that displays lyrics although this is not causing it as i have tested with it off and removed.

i did try out this itunes lyrics getter, but it shouldn't have saved anything.

i can listen to the songs in any other player other than itunes.

also, i am using windows 7 64 bit

NOTICE: I DID REALIZE THAT I HAD A BACKUP OF THE FILES SO I DO NOT NEED ANY HELP, however i will leave this open for future people with this problem in case someone finds a solution.

Did you recently add those files? Where did they come from orginally? – Troggy♦ Dec 20 '09 at 3:59
i don't even remember where i got them from, i got them a year or two ago, and they had moved to my new computer from my old one. and up until today i have had no problems with itunes playing any songs. – crazybmanp Dec 20 '09 at 4:51
You should add your solution as an answer and accept it (though you'll have to wait a couple of days). This way people will more easily see what the solution was. – ChrisF Dec 20 '09 at 18:34
i do not see why this question is closed, it applies to anyone that has had all of their songs stop working. – crazybmanp Jun 25 '10 at 0:46

This question is unlikely to ever help any future visitors; it is only relevant to a small geographic area, a specific moment in time, or an extraordinarily narrow situation that is not generally applicable to the worldwide audience of the internet. See the FAQ for guidance on how to improve it.

Where did the music files come from originally? What player will play them successfully? If they are DRM-protected files only the original player will be able to play them.
