Has anyone experienced this problem?
Yes, there is along history to this issue. To me, the problem usually comes from the player itself. There is no difference between a sequence of ogg files and a sequence of two songs in an ogg stream. Since many players implement first file decoding and extend it to stream decoding, my belief is that they are confusing the end of file with an end of stream in a sequence of several songs. It would be nice if you could send us the name and version of the player. You can also confirm this hypothesis by doing the following: cat file1.ogg file2.ogg > sequence.ogg my-player sequence.ogg The first cat will concatenate the two files and generate a valid sequentalized stream of two songs. Then, if your player stops reading after the end of the first song, you know it is buggy :) Romain ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SF.Net email is Sponsored by MIX09, March 18-20, 2009 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
