i converted those files to wma format and now they are working fine..but thats not a solution to it..or is it?

[vebmetal]

Well it's "a" solution. But no, I haven't found a nice solution. So basically with all the major albums that weren't working, I downloaded them again. That was my solution.

Tried a couple of other repair tools but nothing concrete.

The one thing I noticed was that if you remove the ID3 and ID2 tags of the mp3 files (the part that stores the album/song/artist/etc. information) and then re-tag it, that seemed to solve the problem. But re-tagging hundreds of song is not a very appealing proposition.

So that means there isnt a proper solution to it! I should have asked somebody over here about the player.how stupid of me! Nyways thanks for replying man.will try the re-editing tagging stuff

[vebmetal]

I don't think retailers know about this problem. But yes, had you read my thread before buying, you could have averted this mistake.

[swaroop_babu]

yeah! anyways there is no use in talking about that now.by chance if u find any way to resolve this problem do pass it on k?

[phamilyman]

Very shocking and interesting thread. I thought Pio itself had issues with sorting, but this is weirder.

Is this the same with 4050? That was to be my shortlisted model!

[vebmetal]

I should assume so. swaroop_babu has this problem with his 3050, and I have it with the 6050, so it's almost certain that the 4050 would have these problems.

[faithless_1984]

Yeah i guess this is a common problem with the new Pio`s.
But it has happened with just 2-3 songs in my list of 50-60 songs so its not a big deal for me.

[phamilyman]

ouch so that means guys with a 5-8k budget for HU have only blau for option, or the stock Alpine taken out from NHCs?

PS: sorry for going OT! Thanks a ton for your thread.

No.. Given these budgets, you can safely opt for Pio 6950/7950. FAAAR better than the new Pio XX50 series! better display, better features, better sound.

Someone on budget can actually go in for JVC, good VFM!

BTW, i just read your post where you'd asked about your ICE. given your budget, why dont you give a try to Pio 6950/7950 + front comps from JBL (in grey)? You wont be disappointed.

.. and to the thread starter, take a back up of the songs, format your pen drive, repaste and get going. If, by any chance, you're using win vista.. opt for "scan and fix" before formatting!

How many songs (ie, what %age) is the HU not able to read ?

[BaCkSeAtDrIVeR]

so it's almost certain that the 4050 would have these problems.

I have a 4050. Can anybody please provide me a link to the faulty / nonplaying MP3s? I have a collection of close to 4 Gigs of songs, mostly rpped on one of my Linux Boxen. Some were even originally .ogg (OggVorbis, and converted to MP3s only for sake of playing on the HU. I do not have any problems so far; but I can check.

Up load the file to some site, PM me the link, and delete the file after I download it - sharing copyrighted material is illegal.
