Really, there isn't anything wrong with VBR. I've got 6,335 MP3 audio files (41,800,736,477 bytes worth) spread across 3 different iPods and 99.99% of them are LAME encoded VBR...and they all play fine. The only problem I've had in the past with VBR is with bad VBR headers causing audio to cut off prematurely at the end of a file, not at the beginning. In every case, repairing the VBR header with MP3TagStudio solved that problem. I've experienced audio getting chopped off at the beginning on a couple of occasions, but since re-ripping fixed the problem, I laid the blame on the ripping software. What are you ripping with and what are you encoding with (and what are you tagging with)? -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]]On Behalf Of Timothy Luoma Sent: Sunday, June 08, 2003 10:55 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [ephpod] Re: Ephpod to iPod = beginning of songs cut off > On Sat, 7 Jun 2003 16:20:35 -0600, Gordon Harris > <[email protected]> wrote: >> On Sat, 07 Jun 2003 17:08:42 -0400, Timothy Luoma <[email protected]> >> wrote: >> >> I transferred a bunch of songs to the iPod (first time) and the first >> few seconds of them were all cut off. > Re songs getting cut off: try repairing the VBR header using > MP3TagStudio: http://www.magnusbrading.com/mp3ts/ > > ..and then transfer the files again and see if that helps.

WMP will play the songs just fine, but it does get the length wrong... for example a song will display as 2:02 but play for 2:15 I'm starting to wish I hadn't bothered with VBR :-( >> ps - my Windows iPod doesn't seem to charge when plugged in to the >> firewire port. Is that normal? Apparently it is for laptop users... which is unfortunate.... After transferring 800mb worth of songs, it appears that much of the battery is drained :-/ TjL ------------------------------------------------------ ephPod Mailing List FAQ and HomePage http://www.ephpod.com mailto:[email protected] to susbcribe mailto:[email protected] to unsusbcribe mailto:[email protected] the mailing-list itself ------------------------------------------------------ ephPod Mailing List FAQ and HomePage http://www.ephpod.com mailto:[email protected] to susbcribe mailto:[email protected] to unsusbcribe mailto:[email protected] the mailing-list itself
