The track decodes / plays fine on my iPod Video 30GB.

One thing to mention: The track contains several metadata tags (ID3v2, ID3v1 and APEv2). Maybe you should use a tagger program to clean those up. Nevertheless this does not cause the failure.

Did you already try to install rockbox v3.6?

I will try to downgrade... Having problems finding 3.6 though.
What tags do you recommend for MP3s in general?

Talking of rockbox you should use ID3v2 for mp3.

Thx for the link.
Unfortunately it didnt change anything.
I sorted the ID3Tags and I will copy the files onto the Ipod again now and let u know if it helps...
