RB won't play certain ogg vorbis files
teamost:
I download a lot of DJ mixes in ogg format from archive.org and play them on my two rockboxed mp3 players. In general, things are great. But there are some ogg files that will play just fine in Winamp on my computers, but neither rockboxed mp3 players will play them at all. One of my players is a Sansa Clip+, the other is a Sansa e250. Here are a couple of ogg vorbis files that will not play for me with Rockbox:

Basically, when I try to play them on my mp3 players, it tries to play them for just a split second and then goes right to whatever track is next. Anyone know what is going on with these? (these are just two that I could remember right now). Thanks.
gevaerts:
If I look correctly, those seem to also have an (empty) Theora video stream. That's a bit unusual
saratoga:
Yeah we only support the first stream in Ogg files IIRC, and that would be a video stream in those files.

Thanks for those replies. I don't completely grasp what they mean, but I guess there's no quick/easy fix, something like editing the file properties or tags or something, that would make it work?

This all goes a bit above my head. I just like music and the smaller file size of vorbis, and the decent sound quality at low bitrates.

That thread suggests that the "oggz-rip" program can fix this problem. Never heard of it, but you could try google and see if it works.
