[Pkg-gtkpod-devel] Bug#513084: gtkpod: MP3 from WAV unplayable on iPod Shuffle

[Wouter Koolen-Wijkstra]

Package: gtkpod
Version: 0.99.12-3
Severity: normal


When I use gtkpod to convert my WAV files into MP3, the resulting MP3s 
are unplayable on my 2nd generation iPod shuffle.
When I convert an OGG file to MP3 using gtkpod, the resulting MP3 is 
played fine.
When I run lame --preset standard ...wav ...mp3 myself, and then move 
the resulting MP3 to the iPod using gtkpod, the MP3
will also play fine. I suspect that one of the options that gtkpod 
passes to lame (via
/usr/share/gtkpod/scripts/convert-2mp3.sh) is at fault, but I'm not an 
expert at those.

With kind regards,

Wouter
