quote from you:

Do the songs play before you try to edit the tag?
Please give a detailed description of what your doing exactly.

Yes, the songs play, eventually, and even tag, eventually. They all had their Overviews built fine, (although I noticed the process would "hang" on those whitelabel files). What I'm getting is a wicked 5-30 second freeze when I try to load a whitelabel track. Same if I try to tag one. Where it gets really sticky is if I try to batch tag. Last night I batched four files, Which froze my machine for a good 45 seconds, then loaded another non-whitelabel file. I got a blank area where the waveform should have been in the display, and when I hit play an alien and very "loud" looking waveform appeared, and the audio was a loud, garbled mess. After that I restarted SSL, figuring that something had been bugged out and I would only have more problems.

Hm.. I'll look into this.

I had that same problem before I got v1.7. You're on 1.7 or 1.7.1 right?

The Whitelabel files are unusual because they have ID3 tags that can be as large as 10M, and so updating the tags takes much longer than for normal mp3 files (where the tags are usually somewhere between 1k and 300k, depending on whther they have album art etc).

On a new desktop machine with fast SATA hard drives, the time to write the tags to a Whitelabel track will be a couple of seconds, but on an older laptop with slow drives, it might be closer to 10 seconds.

Having the waveform blank or messed up, and the audio messed up is a serious bug though - can you make it happen again by making another batch change to those file? If yoyu can reproduce it, upload all five files to scratchlive.net and we'll see if we can find the problem and make a fix.

Dj Wunder, can you please confirm which version of ScratchLIVE you're using? Please include the build number from the bottom right corner of the setup screen (in brackets)...

I have the "latest version" and I cant play the .wl.mpeg, why is that?

I have 18120.

The808TEK, can you start your own help topic please? it helps us keep things organized.

thanks

Josh
