MediaXW breaking MP3 playback?

Hi,

Installing MediaXW causes playback of some MP3s to break for me. On attempting to play with mplayer2, the process hangs and must be forcibly killed. On de-installing the free codecs the files immediately play OK again.

It only happens with *some* files, and I can't immediately see any pattern to it. The ones I have that don't play all have ID3 tags, but then some other MP3s I have with ID3 tags are fine; since I don't have a large amount of MP3 I can't say for sure whether that's related.

This has happened reliably on four Windows 2000 boxes; typically the only component installed is the OGG codec. Is it a known problem? Should I send an example troublesome-MP3?

cheers,

  This is a new bug. Please send a sample mp3 to blumi@uni-freiburg.de .
  
  Thanks in advance,

    Okay, I spoke too soon. :-) Looks like I was using Codecs-0.0.5.
    
    Having downloaded and installed 0.0.6, the problem has ceased. So whatever it was, you fixed it after 0.0.5.
    
    Thanks!
