iPod Nano 2GB - m4a file refuses to play
« on: January 26, 2007, 10:37:21 PM »
First I must say that rockbox is great. I'm so happy to find this application. Now I can play all formats which I like to use.

I have The Beach soundtrack in M4A (aac) and all of the songs play from it without problems from begining to end, but one. It's in 128k. The song which does not work is "Woozy" by faithless. It worked without problem under Apple's firmware and works on all players I've tried it on in both Linux and Windows.

Perhaps someone can see if they can reproduce this error? If not then the problem may find itself with something I'm doing.

I could reproduce it, but I don't really know what the problem is yet. Did you create the files yourself? If so, what program did you use to encode them?

Found the problem. Now I just need to make sure I can fix it without breaking any of the test files I've got... :)

Wow! I donate some money to rockbox as thanks  :)

Trying the daily build soon to see if the file now plays...

I have the same problem but I have an ipod 5G.
The odd thing is that some of my songs do work (encoded with same coder)

You don't make a test file, you just send Lear your problematic file :)
