Could that be the reason in your case?

Sounds like you'd know better than me! It's as good a guess as any... But I don't know why MC13 would be writing huge Vorbis comments for every single one of my Ogg files...
--- Quote ---I could solve the problem by increasing the the default value of ID3V2_BUF_SIZE from 300 to 900 in apps/metadata.h and compiled my own version. But I always hope that the default value of this variable will be made device dependent in a future version of Rockbox since e.g. my iPod Video has enough memory to set the value to 900 without any negative side effects while other devices with less memory may need a small value.

Sounds like a reasonable solution to me! Thanks for the thoughts.
Does anyone have any recommendations for what I should do next? I've contributed financially to the rockbox project, but trust me - you don't want me writing code for it... :-)

Post one of your problems files somewhere so that hopefully someone with more knowledge can take a look to see what is going on.

Album art is a possibility. From what I've read, Media Center supports storing album art in Vorbis tags.

That size change has been in the current/daily build for a couple of days now, so if you haven't done so already, you could give a recent build a try.

Excellent guess!

I'm guessing the album art would still be too large...

Cool. I've installed the latest RockBox daily build (it's indexing right now). I've also put one of the problem ogg files here on my website (http://www.yonkitime.com/sounds/Staples.ogg).
Thanks everyone,
Fred

It's not related to that buffer size at all, actually, as Rockbox doesn't read the album art. But I wrote a patch that should fix the problem. I'll test it with your file too, as it contains album art.
Side note: Interesting to see that Media Center supports ReplayGain, but in a non-standard, incomplete way... ;)
