File corruption...

[betasuppe]

Hi,

Just wanted to report a bug, think this is the right place...

You add a file to the QCD, then press edit track in order to edit the ID3 information. Now if you press the "commit" button without making sure you either select another file in explorer, exit the folder in which the file is located in explorer, or just exit explorer - the file will be corrupted (typically a couple of 100 byte.

Took me a while to figure out why (seemingly) random files in my collection was corrupted during the process of cleaning up ID3 tags.

Shouldn't think having selected a file in explorer should make in "inaccessible" or whatever, but if this is the case you should atleast get an error instead of a corrupted file.

Ohhh maybe that was what happened to my Metallica - Black Album ... :(

I can't reproduce this issue. And seeing how glaringly bad this issue can be, I would have heard about it long ago. There must be other factors contributing to this which are outside of QCD.

It happened to me a few times something bizarre related to the end of the files...

A few tracks I encoded with QCD using the LAME Encoder @ 320kbps would just freeze at the end and the duration would then display 8 minutes something even though the song itself is only 3 minutes. Manually pressing the Next Track button would then move the the next track instead of automatically at the end. The bitrate reported would then say 128kbps.

That's on my portable player that it does that, playing the "Corrupted?" files in QCD have no noticable problem.

I don't know if this is related...
