There have been several reports of hardware players having trouble
with high bitrate LAME encoded mp3s, but no one with one of these
players has been willing to spend some time with LAME to track down
exactly what is causing the problem. It is most likely related to a
poorly worded part of the standard which seems to require high bitrate
encodings to waste a significant percentage of the bits available.
The difference comes down to a trivial amount of memory - 960 bytes or
1440 byte buffer.
Could you try the following:
1. disable bit reservoir:
lame --nores -b 320
2. restrict maximum required buffer size:
lame --strictly-enforce-ISO -b 320
3. both 1 and 2:
lame --nores --strictly-enforce-ISO -b 320
And there is one other experiment we would like to try on one of these
players, but it involves a modified version of LAME.
