You don't necessairily need to read the stuff in brackets but the PS might be intersting!

((((The Description almost tells it all...
I have got most of my CD's ripped so I can replay them on my computer and on my GP2X, but some ripped-off music simply won't replay on the GP2X but plays fine on my Ubuntu 5.10 XMMS1 as well as a quite recent mPlayer I got.

All affected files are .OGG 160kbps VBR ripped with grip
NOTE: Some CD's ripped by grip with the same settings DO work... I got no idea why the other's don't.

I already tried renaming the files but it didn't help, its odd... if I try to open them I jump into the mPlayer (just upgraded to 1.20 (went quick and well), still got the problem) but it simply gets stuck... it won't replay nor display the name of the song.
Could it be a tag problem?? Decoding issue?

Any ideas? Help would be very appreciated!!))))

PS: I KNOW the source of the problem now (wanted to check everything out before posting... but I post nevertheless:
Because of some reason the 2 ripped SD's which do not work have got the WRONG type associated... they are type MP3 but the ending and the truth (audio and tag information) is that they are in fact ogg vorbis audiostreams... this appearantly seems to confuse the GP2X mPlayer....

My question: Does anyone know how to change types?
Should/Will GPH implement this "typedetection"?
 
Grip used to embed ID3 tags even if you encoded as Ogg Vorbis. I think that bug in Grip got fixed, but I'm not sure (there is at least an option named "Only tag files ending in '.mp3'). Worth looking into, anyway.

Ok thanks, but well, any suggestion how to remove them or change the type or however make them replayable in my GP2X without re-ripping?

sorry for bumping but I'd really like to know how to change fileTypes under linux and cannot find a internet documentation about that....

thanks
