Several years ago when i last checked, there was a problem playing MP3s with variable bit rates in some players. You haven't encountered this?




it has been my experience that players are indeed more variable than the files they play!

I've created MP3 play lists for various devices and encountered the following problems:

1) some devices choke on filenames with more than ########.### characters

2) some devices that handle long filenames choke if the filename contains a space or other character that my PC will handle

3) and as stated, they don't all handle the encoding the same way. Apparently the decoding is built into the device, and I suppose not all device designers follow the same decoding standard

But I haven't encountered any of those problems for several years now.
