Mp3 problem

[spudgunjake]

I have a lot of mp3 in Media/sub directories/ which work fine on a Pc at home and at work but when I compile my app for the Iphone
it clips the End, I managed to convert a mp3 to -- CBR -b 128 bitrate, using Lamedrop which playes fine, but when I converted others when it plays on the iphone it clips the ends. If i play the both mp3's with windows Media player they work fine, but when I play it with VLC it clips the end of one of them. I have only manged to get one working fine. 

Has any one got any ideas or advise regarding what type of mp3 i need. I also canvered them to Wav , which play fine on the Iphone,  Its driving me mad, any advise on the best compatible software to convert my mp3's, I have a mac as well.

I have around a 1000 Mp3's I need to get working right.

best regards john.

It would probably be best to use OGG on the iPhone

[spudgunjake]

does the iphone, glbasic use ogg files. cant seem to see any ref to it.

ive get mp3 on iphone working with goldwave .

[MrTAToad]

You will most likely have to use OGG for the Mac, but GLBasic doesn't enforce it.

[spudgunjake]

thanks for the responses, Goldwave does seem to have some optionswhich may help , give it a try at home.

is this problem a commom one,

[spudgunjake]

are we saying that the iphone will play ogg files, when re-compiled on my xcode.

I would like to nail this question.

[spudgunjake]

looks like am going to have to go back to wav files. if i cant get this sorted.

[MrTAToad]

are we saying that the iphone will play ogg files

Yes, and AAC ones

I would try OGG files first as they are compatible with the iPhone, if not recommended.
The problem being that OGGs are not guaranteed to run on other platforms (without codecs), so you may need to maintain two sets of music files.

[spudgunjake]

has any one got a list of what can be played with glbasic on a Iphone.

[MrTAToad]

From my book :


Platform                             Music type allowed
Windows                           MP3*
Mac                                   OGG, AIF and CAF*
Linux                                 MP3 or OGG
GP2X                                 MP3 (poorly) or OGG
GP2X-WIZ                         MP3 (poorly) or OGG
Windows CE                      MP3
iPhone                               OGG
Pandora                             OGG
XBox                                  OGG

Let me know if anything is wrong

Iphone plays .mp3 files and .mp4/.m4a, never tried .ogg

[MrTAToad]

So it should be possible then...

[spudgunjake]

I have to try native mp4 and ogg files to night, see I get on, And let every one know, thanks for the replies.
