Fuze won't play some of my mp3's

[Jayandrews]

I just got my fuse, and it locks up when it comes to certain mp3's, and I have to restart it to get it to do anything. I am not sure if this is because of DRM or what.

Heya, welcome to ABi...

- get something like mp3tag to check the ID3 tag info on your mp3 http://www.mp3tag.de/en/

Keep in mind that Sandis players prefer/need ID3v2 tags, specifially ID3v2.3-ISO-8859-1 format.

If tags are fine, then check your mp3 files for integrity/corruption
- get foobar and install the File Integrity Verifier plugin

I would start there...

cheers and good luck,

SO have you looked at the files that are hanging the player? Are they DRM?

Can you format the player and start over with ONLY non-DRM files?

What have YOU done to try to diagnose this problem? I ask this because in over 2 years of Fuze ownership, and longer of Clip ownership, I do not recall having this problem. So, I have no experience at guessing what might be the problem. Ofcourse, none of my files are DRM.
