Description of Issue
So I have a mix of FLAC and MP3 files (I am slowly updating the MP3’s to FLAC as I listen to stuff a lot). However at present most of the MP3’s won’t play. The behaviour is that about 70% of the tracks when selected show 0 seconds for a period, then skip to the next track. this means that at times it’ll skip most of an album and if I’m lucky play 1 or 2 tracks from it.
many of the MP3’s are ex Apple Music (from when the music match service let you download copies of the files to a new system ) so are all 256K vbr files with up to date id3 tags and so on. This is because I had an all MP3 library to start with and used the music match service to get 256K vbr versions of everything
all the tracks are not 0 bytes, and all will play correctly to any of my devices if I funnel them through Logitech Media Player to the same Pi3’s and Sonos devices - I do not believe these files are corrupt, have done new rips and had the same behaviour. I also cannot find any error messages to indicate anything is wrong anywhere
the TS451 has an SSD and a couple of 4TB disks (mirrored), 8GB RAM and twin, dual core processor and at the time of listening is doing nothing else.
what should I do next (and re-ripping all my music is not an acceptable option)
