Faulty playback on Ipod Nano 4Gb 1st Gen
GodEater:
Just for the record, a 249kbps MP3 is *less* compressed, than a 192kbps one.
webjockey:
he, he.... OK then.....
forgive my ignorance...
But I really do fail to see how more compressed runs better than less compressed, well, whatever... :P

less data - less data to read from the disk - less data to process :)
webjockey:
ah, i see...
hmmm, I just thought the more compressed it is, the more there is to uncompress, so the more difficult it would be for Rockbox...
and jsut to note, my music was playing absolutely fine, and then, I opened up Rockdoom while playing some music, and it gave me a data abort...
I thought, fine, don't play music and run rockdoom, so I go back to my songs, and now every single songs returns a data abort (each with a different hex number) I even tried to delete all the rockbox files and reinstall them, but nothings working....

I just bought a 2GB nano from eBay and it seems to suffer from a similar problem. MP3s seem to play fine. But MP4 (aac) files play for a couple of seconds then playback skips to the next track or even skips several tracks. I've tried re-booting and clearing settings. But this certainly sounds like similar behavior to what the OP reported with FLAC.
I just installed from scratch using the rbutil, which should be using the most up-to-date bootloader.
I'm running r14396M 070821 (I compiled it myself today, but the source was a couple of days old. I will update my sources and try again.) *compiling now*
*update* I'm now testing with r14416M 070821 -- though judging by the changes to the source I don't think I'll see any difference.
** I am indeed getting the same behavior. Higher bitrate definitely seems to aggravate the problem. I have some 128kbps AACs that I tried and it seems to skip on the first track starting at about the 1:36. Each subsequent track plays for for a random time between 1 and 10 seconds before skipping to the next track.
In contrast I have a 256kbps AAC album. It plays the first track up until 0:23. Then it randomly skips some tracks, playing a random set of the remaining tracks for 1 or 2 seconds each, but ended up playing about 0:10 of the 9th track for some reason.
So, it seems to definitely perform the best right when playback has been initiated.
I'll play with it further.
