Thanks, Steve. I'm guessing that in the "count-padding" file you increment the chunk size for AUTH by 1?

Please stop trying to muddy the waters. Actually, I am trying to know which files are which, so I know what I am testing. As far as I can tell the file called "01-s.aiff" used to be a file that did not play on iPod, hence why I am confused. I know you are looking for an easy solution, but...

Here is a file "02-sjoel.aiff" id = 8242. It's the second file of an Audacity export multiple. I added metadata for each field in Metadata Editor, so that NAME (02-sjoel), AUTH (joel) and ANNO (notfixed) were even numbers of characters. Riffpad thinks this file is OK (no "junk at end ...

Ok, it seems that I've at last found the culprit. Chunks must always have a even number of bytes. If I want to assign "Mac" to the 'NAME' ID, I can do so, but I have to pad a 0 byte after "c". In the first file, the 'AUTH' chunk has a size of 4 and in the other versions a size o...

What does that mean? What is "links"?

In the past, some iPod users have said that unless the iPod is connected via USB, it cannot play files that have metadata. He only chooses "AIFF (Apple) signed 16 bit PCM". Is that correct? Gale Of course saving the multi export files with ( Amadeus, Peak, iTunes , Foobar20000'....) "...

The files produced by multiple export, using custom Fmpeg, have the same size and overall media information (incl. big endianess) as a single exported file. That's why I assume that they do play.Do you see any issue there? Please give exact steps to reproduce that, then we can give audio_pete a fil...

Thanks for the reply. I have 2 GiBs of RAM, 2.2 GHz speed. Unfortunately, Ubuntu is way more technical than I expected, so I have no clue how to daignose and fix my computer. How about looking at the crash dump: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/CrashdumpRecipe or asking on the Ubuntu Forums? Most cra...

I looked there but the earliest one was 8/7/13 which was after the problem started. I check "Show More Restore Points" but that didn't seem to do anything. Anyway I could find earlier restore points? Obviously not. You either aren't allowing enough disk space for restore points or not cre...
