Skipping songs in OGG format

[Advid]

Hi,

it's strange. I converted my tracks from mp3 to OGG (I know, not a very good idea for quality of songs) and some songs are skipped. It works as following.

I manually start playing the first one. Then it ends and for a short moment names of tracks 2 and then 3 are displayed. Then the track 4 starts playing. Then names of tracks 5, 6, 7 and 8 are displayed for a sec and the track 9 starts playing.

or

When I manually play nr. 1, then it skips to 4 after playing 1. But if I manually skip back to 2, then it skip on 6 after playing 2. This randomity is driving me crazy.

I have tracks named: 01, 02, 03, etc. and mode is not random playing. This occurs only in some folders/albums.

Can you help me?

Hmm, have a look at the documentation for your player. If it's anything like the older iFP series flash players or my old iMP-550, then it's ogg vorbis support is limited. Usually this means your ogg files must remain in the range of 96-212Kbps for every frame, not just the average. If a frame within the track moves outside this range, your player will skip to the next track.

The only way around this is to use managed bitrate encoding, where you can set hard limits on minimum/maximum bitrate.

the T30 plays Ogg from Q0 to Q10. The IFP series has terrible Ogg support, anything that has a bitrate of <96kbps will not play without hacked firmware.

I've got T30

you may have used very old version of OGG encoder when converting OR files are somehow corrupted... try using foobar2000 + aoTuV b4.51 for conversion

T series players have no problems with playing any OGG files... if only they are valid...

I convert all my music with dBPowerAmp, using the aotuv B4 ogg vorbis codec. No problems yet. For a test, I also tried the official v1.1.1 Ogg Vorbis codec (also avail on the dbpoweramp site) and no skipping. I also tried 32kHz sampling rate and 44.1kHz, no probs.
Try converting with dBpowerAmp, use UMS firmware v1.60, & it should work.

I used to have a shitey IPOD and i shipped all of my OGG format tunes onto my iriver, no problem what so ever, everything seems to be running fine, well, so far(touch wood) as i have only had my lovebox (i-river) for about 1 week.

I have a car, it runs better than my other car. Touch wood. Sometimes I carry things in my new car because it runs better. Then i touch myself.
