Hi guys, Thanks very much for agreeing to taking a look at it. Two things: 1. I downloaded the Gusty Gibbon cd and booted it in live mode. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to have the MP3 decoders on it! at least, I can't play the thing. Believe me, I'd love to help you guys - I have a lot of MP3s that I simply can't play right now. Is there any way to get the live-boot environment to set up the MP3s without doing an actual install?
This computer is my "serious" computer, so I really don't want to upgrade it to a beta install, no matter how polished it is. 2. Since posting the original bug, I believe I know what is different about the MP3s that cause the decoder crash. The pattern wasn't apparent until I started really using this system for a while. A significant number of my MP3s were encoded using the LAME encoders with the variable bit rate setting. That seems to be the culprit. I have MP3s encoded with various other settings (I was tweaking my settings over time) and the ones I encoded with fixed-rate settings I don't have a problem on. I don't know if LAME did something illegal - the decoders under Windows and my iPod play the suspect MP3s just fine. I hope this new information helps. Meanwhile, let me know what I should do about the Gusty Gibbon setting.
