Is it possibly due to the bit rate being variable instead of constant? I've seen some not-great Win audio programs that would also throw up if they were fed a VBR.
Audacity might just be resaving the file as a CBR MP3, which could be somewhat more palatable to the system.

I also have problems with some mp3 files... even if I installed mad/twolame/lame, and apparently they were encoded by lame itself. Here's what mediainfo says about: Audio Format : MPEG Audio Format version : Version 1 Format profile : Layer 3 Mode : Joint stereo Mode extension : MS Stereo Duration : 3min 59s Bit rate mode : Variable Bit rate : 212 Kbps Channel(s) : 2 channels Sampling rate : 44,1 KHz Stream size : 6,06 Mb (100%) Writing library : LAME3.90. Encoding settings : -m j -V 2 -q 2 -lowpass 19 --vbr-old And here's one of those files http://www.mediafire.com/?aq8y50gnppq16z5 Thank you for helping Alessio 2012/1/26 Jorge Soto <[email protected]>: > Probably nothing to do with your problem, but a friend of mine gave me an > mp3 cd that he compiled using musicmatch on windows.
