Xperia Z1 MP3

Hello Guys,

New to the forum and new to the Xperia Smartphone

Just come from a long line of Galaxys to the Z1 and although a couple teething problems the phone is running great and im really happy with my purchase first week with the device gave me varied battery experience however after about a week the phone battery settled and now getting over a day of life which im over the moon about.

One problem i havent managed to work arround and im not sure if its an experia thing or just me being stupid but i cannot seem to get my device to playback podcasts in MP3 format.

I used an app called iPP Podcast Player which used to get my casts automatically and play them back but it just doesn't play with no error message. Tried in both Walkman and Google Play and it simply says "Cannot Play Music Files"

If anyone has any work arrounds or solutions it would be much appreciated

The podcast im downloading from the app and i've tried direct on the device is Roosterteeth Podcast incase anyone wants to see the file. Its coming in as an Mp3.

Ok just an update in the odd chance someone else looks this up.

I think the problem was that Chrome was downloding Mp3 as crdownload files and the phone didn't recognise them.

I uninstalled chrome and reinstalled it and deleted all previos downloads and all is working perfectly again.

Must hav been something wrong i had done in the first place.
