Title: Repeated problems with playback of my files
Post by: djrobsd on April 04, 2013, 03:57:57 pm

I am a DJ, and I create a weekly mixshow/podcast for an online radio station who is using Centova, and they have been recently having problems with my mp3 files.  I encode them at 128kbps stereo using my Mixmeister software.  Other DJ's on her station use the same software and they don't seem to have a problem, although they may be using a PC and I'm using the Mac version of Mixmeister.

I have also tried encoding it to a WAV in Mixmeister, and then using iTunes to convert it to a 128kbps mp3 file.  It seems to be hit or miss, but what happens when she uploads it to their Centova server is it shows up in the console as a 56kbps file at twice the length of the original file, 2 hours instead of 1 hour.

Per the Centova Knowledge Base, I used a program called MP3Test to check the validity of the file, and it says the file has no errors.

So, I'm at a loss as to why this keeps happening.  Does anyone have any recommendations how I can make sure my file works perfectly every time it is uploaded to the server?

The first step would be to define "having problems".  What problems, exactly, are they having with your MP3 files?
