Gramaphone tracks ending prematurely

[Paul Riley]

I think this happens randomly but I have noticed gramaphone tracks sometimes end abruptly,so a track of say 3 mins may finish at 1 min,or even less.
Is there a specific reason for this?

Thanks.

Not sure what format your music is in but reports/experiences suggest that ogg.vorbis is far more stable than MP3 and regardless, you should never mix the two.

Hmm,that could be it.I believe some of my most recent tracks from beemp3.com are in MP3 format and the ones provided by GWX are .ogg
Thanks for that tip.

I've sometime this problem, of course because I have 300 songs mixed, ogg and mp3.
But you can resolve this problem easely: push "back song" on the gramophone icon and the song will restart and sometime you will listen all.

Sink them all !

mp3's give me trouble too. Some will always malfunction.

I used this free converter (http://www.koyotesoft.com/indexEn.html)to change my gramophone mp3s to .ogg format.
