I extraced the first 500k, but they are actually played back without problems. So I think the problem is the ID3 tag. I resaved the tags in BMP -- which played the file -- and now the failing file works in quodlibet, too. So I compared the ID3 tag of a failing file from the same album with the resaved one: $ tail -c 128 failing.mp3 [output: see attachement faling.id3] $ tail -c 128 working.mp3 [see attachement working.id3] The main difference is that the failing ID3 tag is padded with spaces (0x20), the working one with zeros (0x00). Also the last character is 0x01 for the working file and 0x02 for the failing one. How can I provide more info on this as I probably can't send you the whole mp3 beacause of copyright restrictions?
