I had put some MP3s in the Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Custom Music folder and they all worked in game, but the next time I started the game none of them played. You would see the the stereo playing, but no sound. I already went to the options and previewed the songs. They worked there , just not in Live Mode. How do I fix this?
how do you get rid of album art?
I just realized the one song that does work does have album art! so I don't think this is my problem... I do however wanna try anyway.

Yep! As soon as I deleted the wall speakers, the sound came back on. I definitely have the latest patch and all the expansions, as it's been years. Album Art will not follow mp3's copied into that folder. EA will not release another one for this game. They're probably working on The Sims 5, and once the later releases come out, they leave the older ones in the dust.

How do you remove album art
@diva354if they are m4a files, the album art will follow into the folder. They might not play. Album Art are jpg and can be deleted. If your game manages to play those files, just delete the jpg ones; they won't hurt the game. You have to use Windows Explorer.
I modified this, because I thought I was in the TS4 Forum ... ooooops!
