Thank you for that. It was in my Automatic Updates a few days ago. After it was installed I briefly tried it out. I love the portrait mode, minimal interface and it pulls in the album covers beautifully.

However, practically all of my N800 music is in ogg files and the old distortion issues remained.

Then, in the interim, my OS2008 system has been automatically updated a couple of times and now stands at v 4.2008.36.5, quite what it was a few days ago I am not sure.

Now, when I select an ogg file to play, the device locks up and needs a hard restart. However if I select an mp3 then it all is ok and it plays fine.

In order to try and deal with this, I installed ogg-support v 0.7 but with the same result. Then I installed ogg-support-lightmediascanner v 0.7 but didn’t help either.

I find it astonishing that Nokia does not include ogg vorbis in the list of supported audio formats

Initially, when you first gave us UKMP, it was able to play my files provided ogg-support was installed but that facility stopped quite a while back.

Is there anything else that I can do or am I stuck with my ogg files being unplayable?
I can try out the ogg support. I'm using playbin these days and not building the pipelines manually. I suppose that is the reason for oggs not working.

And to be fair, I don't like ogg as a standard, however free it is. The metadata handling of it is entriely flawed and it has never worked as it should have on any computers and os that I have owned (except mplayer, in which everything always works well).

Anyway, back to the issue. I'll check out the ogg support if I could hack in something quickly.
