bass bug...

[lucraymond]

this mp3 crash the bass library completely (it also crash xmplay)

play well under winamp or windows media player..

weird..

I've just did a test with the problematic file. I noticed that the ID3 header started at offset 0 in the file. I decided to replace the ID3 tag (3 first bytes of the header) by 00 00 00 (so that Bass couldnt find the id3 header) and the file played perfectly.

So the problem lies between bass and the ID3 header.

It should be easy to find since it's not related to the mp3 sound data.

thanks for any updates!

Yep, it's a dodgy ID3v2 tag - it says it's about 234MB long

I'll add detection for ridiculous tag lengths in the next release.

[lucraymond]

I'm glad you find the problem quickly.

I'll add detection for ridiculous tag lengths in the next release.

But as far as I know, ID3v2 tags CAN be over 200 MB big.

[Ian @ un4seen]

Yeah, but if the file is only a few MB... something ain't right

Anyway, this was sorted in 1.8
