Sorry for answering this late, but I was very busy...

I thought I already told you plainly that the Alphaville song you posted had no problems playing under 2.0b7 on Mk2a hardware?

---

And I told you that they didn't play on my model with 2.0b7.
Strange.

Using emplode 2.0b7's ability to DOWNLOAD, pull the offending tracks back to your local hard drive and then play them back.

I used netcat to pull the file of the player.
The checksum was still the same as the original (I have all of them on DVD.)
All player played them.

Also look at them with MP3 Tag Studio.

I used different mp3-check tools and none complained...

Next, put them up for others to try.

That's why I put up that 200k of Forever Young.
And it worked on others system.

However.
I just installed 2.0b11 and it fixed all my problems.
Well, I still "feel" that the quality is a little bit degraded, compared to 1.03, but that's only in the lab and unnoticeable in the car.

Problem solved.
And to tell you the truth,
I don't really care what fixed it.
As long as it stays fixed.

BTW:
In the whole process I never touched that "broken" Alphaville song,
it's still the same I uploaded 14month ago.

ps:
I'm sorry about the harsh tone I hit in my earlier posts;
And I apologize for this.
