Sansa C200 sometimes cuts out dead
bobbydriver:
It's been running on a recent build r23718
I just updated to r23931 to see if it makes any difference.
I don't think it's a busted player as it works fine for 99.9% of the time - just a bit odd that occasionally it stops dead and needs the battery to be removed before it will come back to life
I thought maybe it was a common problem or something people had seen before. I'm not a techie so I don't know how many things could kill it and why taking the battery out & in would make it work again
I never run the original firmware (as it's rubbish!) but that's a good point, I could try that for a while as it might prove out if the issue is the player or the Rockbox OS
bobbydriver:
I've now identified 3 mp3's that seem to consistently trigger this bug
so now it should be a case of figuring out the common feature
BlastTyrant:
I've had this (or a very similar problem) happen on my c240 v1 before with a single Godsmack mp3. Playback would get choppy about halfway through the song and then about 15 seconds later it would completely freeze up the player.
I would also need to remove/replace the battery when it happened. I can't remember right now if a hard reset would power down the player without removing the battery (this happened every time I played the one mp3 >5-6 months ago).
I ended up deleting the song through RB one day when it started playing.
I've attributed it to the mp3 being corrupt. I haven't actually checked out the mp3 that's still on my computer to see if there is a problem with it (I forgot about it until I read your post just now). I'll have to try to remember to check it today.

They're probably corrupted, but even so they shouldn't crash. Can you post one of them online?

I found the mp3 that I had problems with, though it doesn't crash on RB anymore. I can still hear the choppiness/glitches in the song though while playing in in RB, the OF, and Windows Media Player. So the problem with the mp3 must have happened when ripped. I checked the mp3 with Checkmate MP3 Checker and it tests good which is strange.
You might be better off getting bobbydriver's songs than mine, but I put it up here just in case: http://www.mediafire.com/?1zh2mix4emt
The choppiness/glitches occur between 1:20 and 1:33.
