Another strange happening.  The Duration & Bitrate fields are now missing for 4 mp3 albums.  The songs play fine. Just blank fields.

The fields are fine in version 10.

The files have not been changed in version 10 or 11.

I have deleted them from the library and re-imported. Still no Duration or Bitrate.

I also deleted and re-imported in ver10 Duration & Bitrate are fine.

One file in each of the 4 albums did change and it was with the prior version. sorry. the dates were simular and i did not see it.

[KeystoneCop]

I am getting closer.   I saved tages from library in version 10, then I updated the library in version 11.   I now remember what started this.  I removed all keywords and these albums where the only ones that had them. and only on a couple of songs not on the full album.  The full albums were set to null.

version 11      (in tag mode the duration and bitrate ar ok) but not in file type info.

Google says:

Sounds like you are missing the Xing headers on those files. The Xing header is required to supply the total size, duration and breakpoints to allow you to reflect the timing properly in z! and other media players.

MC 11's File Type Info seems to be more dependent on the Xing header's existence.

So, what encoder you used with Audiograbber?  

[Matt]

We shouldn't need a Xing header.

Could you send one of the mp3 files to matt @ jriver.com?

Thanks.

[KingSparta]

I had the same problem with 64 real audio files for Bit rate, the duration was there however.

[KeystoneCop]

Sent the file.  I tried it in version 10 and 11 with different results in both but i see i did make a change with version 11 (that was my first day for version 11) I opened the backup file for each of these.

Thanks for the file.  It had an invalid Xing header. (had the frames flag set, but not a valid frame count)

Next build of MC will handle this case.
