FLAC won't play on H320 after converting from APE (UPDATED!)
« on: February 21, 2008, 06:31:39 AM »
Hi :)

As the title says, I converted a bunch of APE files to FLAC (level 5) using
Foobar2000 and none of the FLAC files will play. Rockbox starts to play
them but then instantly stops and says 'STOPPED'. This is driving me mad
after spending so long converting the APE files so I would REALLY appreciate
some help!

Thanks in advance...:)

Could it be that the files still have APE tags?

Rockbox only accepts music files which are tagged with their native tag format. This would be Vorbis comments for FLAC files, if I remember correctly.

Ok, I have an update on this issue:

Tonight, FLACs that would not play previously, played without a hitch for around 15 minutes.

Then (without powering down) those same files refused to play and playback stops immediately after starting.

So it seems that the problem is not with the FLACs but with Rockbox maybe?

Would running the debug mode help?

Hi, I was referring  to the Debug option in the system menu.

That is a menu that lets you look at useful information, not an option or a mode.

Whet version of rockbox are you using?  Can you try resetting your settings?

Settings --> Manage Settings --> Reset settings

Could you post one of the files that you're having trouble with somewhere so that others can see if they can replicate the problem?
