Audacity Forum

Sorry Robert's links

The Audacity-written chunks themselves are proved correct to Apple's specification for AIFF. If there are an odd number of characters and so an odd number of bytes, we pad with one extra zero character in the chunk to make the bytes an even number).

For Text chunks there may be an odd or even number of bytes, depending on the number of text character. This is where we see a repeatable problem for your iPod, Koz's older iPod and Riff-Pad. It appears that Apple have fixed the problem on newer iPod models as Koz's newer iPod will play these files...

Interestingly that Aple products do not abide by their house-made specifications. I'd expected this rather from MS.

Not following you on this, what faux pas did apple commit?

Thanks for testing. The files that I uploaded have the following file names: 02-s-count-padding.aiff 02-s-no-padding.aiff 02-s-no-count-padding.aiff So that we are perfectly clear, are you saying that: 02-s-count-padding.aiff played correctly. 02-s-no-padding.aiff did not play. 02-s-no-count-paddin...

audio_pete, please try these three files in your iPod and tell us which, if any of them work: http://www.sendspace.com/filegroup/xI%2BeI%2FabodEiORbydm1XKi88mETW2kvb Both "count" and "no count" files are "recognized" by iTunes and load to iTunes automatically. "no padding" did not. But I am not too...

Does audio_pete's old iPod play it? My iPod is old but if you would buy a new one today it would be EXACTLY like mine. Apple has not updated the iPod classic in years. Note this is only a problem with these optional NAME, AUTH and ANNO chunks, not with the ID3 chunk. iTunes does not write NAME, AUT...

Try this http://www.sendspace.com/filegroup/uNl6lQ06PNmF31n%2FkI59GOQrTBfYcSZ%2BbuhKDdEn3LGw0mUyqSy1Mg No, those tone files are still written by iTunes. You have suggested that "1st tone plays in ipod", "2nd and 3rd do not" . These are export multiple files created by Audacity and not subsequently ...

"0 byte after ..." According to links, data is left justified. What does that mean? What is "links"? Gale Ok, it seems that I've at last found the culprit. Needless to say that all converted files have a proper structure. Here can some details be found about IFF and AIFF: http://home.roadrunner.com...
