My Ogg files don't play on a new device


Hello,
I've been using EAC for ripping my music into Ogg-files and have played them since then without any problems on two players (iAudio and iRiver) and foobar.

Now I purchased a new player (Sansa Fuze 8GB, Firmware: 02.02.26F) that supports Ogg-files but doesn't play mine. It just skips between the files.

Just for trying I ripped a CD with Foobar and it does play on the Fuze. I don't understand why.

Could it be that I am just using the "wrong" encoder for the Fuze? Do I have to convert my music again? I'd like to avoid this of course.

Ripping programme: Exact Audio Copy
Encoder: oggenc2.exe, Oggenc2.85using aoTuVb5.7
Additional command-line: -q 6 -a "%a" -t "%t" -l "%g" -d "%y" -N "%n" -G "%m" %s -o %d

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!

I have a Sansa Clip 8GB myself and I had troubles playing back some vorbis files too, until I discovered that the Clip doesn't like long Vorbis Comment tags. I don't the the exact size which causes the player to hicup, but I had lyrics in the files, and when I purged them, everything went fine.
It's only audiophile if it's inconvenient.

Thanks for the reply, Kohlrabi. My tags are quite clean, I think. Just track number, track title, album and artist name plus date and genre. All very plain. Which encoder are you using? I thought that I might have to use another encoder but I'm not sure.

I found the problem now and I have to admit I feel quite stupid about it. The option "Add ID3Tag" was activated under Compression option and that should be deactivated. Everything works fine now after changing this.
