+Summary: MP3 playback problems
+
+It's as simple as that : many songs which play in XMMS or MPG321 (for
+instance) report a time equal to 0:00, and trying to play it reports a
+"Could not find media type" error. I have however observed that those songs
+have typically been troublesome to XMMS and Cantus (a mass tag-renaming
+program, among other things), as the ID3 tags were partly locked - only
+id3v2 succesfully edited the tags, and that only after wiping it out.
+
+Such songs could also not be burnt to an audio CD by K3B. I don't think
+they are encoded in LAME VBR - however, how can I determine what codec was
+used ? Could that be the cause ?
+
+I haven't found any corellation between the bitrate and a file's
+unplayability, nor with the partition type used.
