I'm not sure this is technically a bug, more probably the inability to handle a
screwed up mp3 file. I'm using CVS-051213 on an iriver H140 (with the US 1.66
iriver firmware).
The podcasts from NPR have a 4 second tune affixed to the front of the podcast.
These podcasts are seen by rockbox as a 4 second recording, even though they are
multiple minutes long. When played using the iriver firmware, they play
normally. rockbox only plays the first 4 seconds of the podcast. I can't hold
down the FF button to scan past the 4 second mark (it will just wait until I let
go and then start the next track), and I can't hold down the REW button from the
next podcast to seek back into the end of the mp3 (it stays at 0:00 of the
current track).
The problem appears to be the gapless playback; because there is
information in the file about exactly how long the first part of the
file is, Rockbox stops playing the track after that length. I'll see if
I can do something about it.
By the way, Foobar2000 also only sees the leading 4 seconds...
