e260 - 3/31 snapshot was better
Bryan.Brake:
Ogg playback on my sansa is still spotty. I attempted to update to the 4/14 snapshot, because the "push the back button causes it to skip forward" was fixed. Still happens here...
Luckily, I kept the old 3/31 snapshot, which works better. At least when I hit the back button, it actually goes back one song...
I'll check back in a week. just giving you a heads up...
Llorean:
1) The forums aren't the right place for bug reports.
2) The version you just reported testing was old when you made this post. Use the "Current Build" link, not an old daily from a day or two ago.

Besides, playback being "spotty" doesn't help much. You also didn't include any information about your files except them being ogg -- for example, the bitrate is an interesting fact. Also, what effects have you enabled? Crossfeed? EQ? How many bands are used of the EQ?
Bryan.Brake:
:-\ The ogg fix was committed monday April 14th. I thought that the ogg fix would be on the snapshot from the 14th. But apparently this was not the case. I tried the snapshot from today (17th), and initially, it appears to work. I have went back and forth with no issues. I've started the song in the middle of the song, and hit "back" twice, and it seems to work. I click forward, then click "back" really quick, and I did this multiple times in succession, and everything seems to
4/17/2008 will be my new milestone build. It's the day where everything seems to work. I'll keep that copy for when later bulids break something... The last one was in mid-october 2007.
RE: blue brother, to answer your questions
bitrate= variable. I rip ogg with minimal bitrate=32kb and maximum=350kb, no nominal bitrate. Average I usually see for each song is ~ 180kb. Gain is calculated using vorbisgain or by CDex, depending on what OS I'm using at that time.
replaygain is the only effect enabled. no crossfeed, no eq, no bands. no themes (black bg, green fg), no icons, no backdrop (no "pretties")
here is my config.cfg:

Thanks for all the help... Please don't think me ungrateful. It's just I see too much love for MP3 around here, and seems like the bastard child OGG gets thrown token scraps. I've been using ogg for almost a year now, after finding Rockbox, and I am pleased with the sound quality. And I love using Rockbox. I bought my wife a new e280R just so that she can put Rockbox on it...
Cheers,
Bryan Brake

The reason I did get involved into Rockbox was ogg -- I bought an h120 back those days, and after switching to ogg I figured that the ogg support of that player was quite bad. I started using Rockbox at a stage where playback was working on h120 for like 2 months or so ... I don't think ogg is getting less love than mp3. It's just a more complex format, thus making things ... more complex ;)
Please don't use "snapshots", use a current build from http://build.rockbox.org/ -- there is no real difference between those, and the current build is more up-to-date. I've verified the issue you mentioned but cannot reproduce it on my side (albeit I don't own a sansa, but that fix should've affected all players).
