Note, this only occurs in freeamp classic theme. I have tried it with the freeamp (default) theme and there is no problem seeking or stopping any kind of file. first off let me just say how i encoded these files. Lame has two vbr encoding methods. --vbr-old and --vbr-new. freeamp (latest cvs) 2.1.1 seems to play, stop, and pause the --vbr-old encoded files fine. Although it cant seek in them very well. using --vbr-new freeamp cannot do anything once you hit play, it seems to lock up once you try to stop or pause or do anything to change the current playing of the track. It will continue playing but will remain in this unreactive state. I have no idea why this is theme specific but it seems to be as the problems disappear once changing it to the default theme. _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.freeamp.org/mailman/listinfo/freeamp-dev
