This is an mp3 file? Not sure about the cutting off of audio, but there have been a slew of reports of that sort of behavior lately, mostly when the audio is being transcoded. But mp3 should for the most part be streamed as-is and played natively by the Squeezebox. As far as tags are concerned, make sure that you don't have any APEv2 tags in addition to id3v2 and/or id3v1 tags. SlimServer is a little brain damaged and will ignore id3 tags if there is even a single APE tag such as a replaygain value. If you have both id3v2 and id3v1 tags in the file this can sometimes be a source of confusion. As with the APE vs id3 tags, SlimServer will use the id3v2 data and ignore all id3v1 data, so if you're editing the id3v1 tag, but not updating the id3v2, this could cause issues. Unless you need the id3v1 tag for device compatibility, you may find it easiest just to delete it if it exists.. If you haven't tried it yet, Mp3tag is a pretty good tool for both seeing and removing unwanted tags from mp3 files. http://www.mp3tag.de/en/ -- JJZolx Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32986 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
