Samples Won't Play!!!

Okay, so I have my MPC hooked up to my mac pro. I transfer the samples via USB. I dismount the MPC on my desktop, I listen to the samples that I just loaded and some of them will play and some won't. They all have the .WAV extension. What did I do wrong???

All wav's are not created equal. Go back to your computer and look at the properties of the ones that won't play.

They need to be 14khz/16bit wav files, after u make them so, place them in the mpc and play them.
