Database with ALAC, and skipped playback

Chronon:
Let us know.   :)

But please type out the word "thanks" instead of writing slang (thx).  Standard English words have a much better chance of being properly spoken by a screen reader or translated by translation software.

Harlin:
Ok, thanks   :)

Harlin:
Okay, I've downloaded current build r16536-080306.
The problem with ALAC persists, but I have found the culprit.

Rockbox won't recognize ALAC created by dbPowerAmp, but will recognize if converted using iTunes.

So, this can be submitted to Bug Report tracker.
Thanks.

That may well be because dbPowerAmp creates non-standard or broken ALAC files, not because Rockbox is mis-handling them.

It will probably only get submitted if you do it.
And, as above, you need to confirm if it is Rockbox or dbPowerAmp at fault before a Flyspray entry is raised.

It could be that dbPowerAmp doesn't create so called streamable files (where the metadata is located before the audio data). Rockbox currently only support streamable MP4 files.

If you have Foobar2000 around, you can try the function "Optimize MP4 Layout" on the file to see if that helps.
