Song that just won't play?
« on: February 04, 2007, 09:40:50 PM »
I've got this MP3 ("The Root of All Evil, by Dream Theater") that just won't play. You can see it in the Database list, it attempts to load, shows a total track time of 0:00, then skips right on to track 2.

the weird thing is it's exactly the same format as every other track on the album (they all work fine), and it plays on my computer from the Rockbox folder via USB.

Is there any reason why Rockbox would just stop loading a song?

Update: It looks like this might just be the worst case of "Database won't F@$king update!" ever.
 
I can't really say; for some reason, the track numbers are showing weird.

For instance, whereas most tracks show number as

Track: 4 [4/8]

These show it as

Track: 4/8 [4/8]

Also the song just WILL not load, no matter what I do.

And if you play it from "file view"?
Or if you play it on your computer from your mp3players' disc?

I don't think it's the database, as I CAN see and play it from file view.

And it loads fine, it just shows a total time of 0:00...

Yes, it plays fine off my rockbox on Windows, too... in Windows Media Player, in FL Studio, in Audacity...

In fact, I just opened it as a .wav, reencoded it, and it now works fine. Audacity showed a little blip of noise at the beginning, but it doesn't sound in WMP or FL... I wonder if it was a weird encoding thing. (?)
