DATA ABORT
MOREloss:
Ive been having problems with rockbox for a long time because when i play certain mp3 files I get a message such as "data abort at 'number'". I have a 5.5g ipod. Ive searched the forums for answers but so far i havent found any satisfatory ones yet. Just today i had that message with 5 different mp3 files. Its really frustrating when im listening to music and suddenly it just freezes. This is starting to make me think that rockbox is trash. I dont like thinking that because rockbox has a lot of potential. If someone can help me fix this I would be very grateful. I really would.

Well, you could start by saying what player you have, what version of Rockbox you're running (SVN revision or stable release number), when you last updated your bootloader, and the actual address the data aborts are occurring at.

It would also be good to know details about the mp3 files that were playing at the time...
Bitrate, length, size...
Did you rip them yourself? Or get them from somewhere else?
Do the errors occur at the same point in the song each time, or is it random?
Do the mp3s play fine in any other music player? Portable or computer?
IOW, could the mp3s be corrupt?

I doubt its the mp3s. Its happened to me so many times its almost like am i going to get that error with this song as well. Well to list some songs (cant list all since its just too many and i have thousands of songs in my ipod).
the version of rockbox that i have is the latest one.
I didnt rip the mp3s myself. I got them off a friend. the errors do seem to occur at the same points in the songs.
version r19569-081223
three songs that i remember had this error just today are
nirvana - smells like teen spirit
weezer - holiday
elliott smith - speed trials
Llorean:
Please try updating to the most recent version of Rockbox, and check the files for errors. If they always fail in the same place it's likely an issue with the files and although it may still be a Rockbox problem, knowing what exactly is unique about that point in those files will be helpful. Song names, on the other hand, aren't helpful. It's unlikely your file for that song is exactly identical to that of other people.
