Album skipped on Sansa Clip+

(1/2) > >>

Plunk:
Hey, I have a playback problem with my Rockboxed Sansa Clip+. I have an album that simply won't play. The 9 tracks are automatically skipped with scratchy sounds until the end of the folder. The album was ripped in Ogg Vorbis using EAC in secure mode. I tried reripping it, I tried playing the files from the SD card and from the internal memory, but nothing changed.

I know that a lot of users reported very similar problems. As i said, only one particular album is affected (so far), which seems strange to me. Maybe something's wrong with the files or the way they were encoded... I don't know.

Any idea?

bluebrother:
I don't see "a lot of users" reporting "similar" problems. This sounds like your files containing ID3 tags. Those are invalid in ogg files. Check the files -- some tools did create such broken files in the past.

Furtermore, have you created other files that play the same way (i.e. using EAC)?

Plunk:
Well, I've seen very similar problems pop up once or twice in a few message boards. Anyway, I haven't found any other files that have the same problem yet. The tags were input by EAC (they're in the command-line options, actually) and I added a few things using MP3Tag (like the album cover). I don't know how to check if some ID3 tags were added to the Ogg files, but I have other Ogg files encoded exactly the same way and with the same kinds of tags that work perfectly fine.

evilnick:
IIRC, EAC has an option to add id3 tags to *any* compressed format - despite id3 tags being nonstandard for vorbis (and other) files which you need to make sure is not ticked.

Open the file with a text editor (notepad is sufficient for this). Check if the first characters read "ID3". If they do you have ID3 tags in your file. If the file is a correct ogg vorbis file it starts with the characters "OggS".
