When playing radio programmes I've downloaded using get_iplayer in VLC

Any ideas what's going wrong and how to fix this?
Sounds a bit like a missing or broken „xing header” in the MP3 file that
helps the player to figure out how much of the audio was already played.
Maybe installing the mp3diags package can help you to identify and fix
the MP3 file.

Actually Marc I can already fix the MP3 files, as I wrote in my post, by
re-encoding each MP3 file with Lame.
I'm just wondering why this is happening with every single radio
download I make (that's converted to MP3 by get_iplayer which I
require). Clearly something is not working properly but I don't know what.
Thanks.
