[PROBLEM] Corrupted songs?

[Nikolovich]

The files seem corrupted by the moode interface but on a PC everything is fine and they play correctly. Sometimes it does it with different albums but especially with this one. I have refreshed the library many times but nothing has changed. The songs seem to last a few seconds from moode when in reality they last more than 3 minutes each. I have also changed storage disk but that is not the problem. Do you think it is a problem with my songs or has anyone encountered it? I would like to point out that the songs are played on another device without problems.

What audio format are the songs and where did they come from?

They come from different sources but they are all in FLAC format. This album (The Cure Gratest Hits) in particular is FLAC (16-44) downloaded from the web from a pirate site because my original disc is broken (in my country if I have a physical copy of a disc it is allowed to have it in digital format) but the error occurs even with music that I personally ripped from the CD

Since the issue occurs only with certain albums/tracks and not all tracks it would most likely rule out a bug in moode software.

I'd avoid downloading tracks from untrustworthy sites because the metadata can contain malicious script code.

I know the sites where I download the tracks but thanks for the heads up anyway. I want to point out that the tracks played on my PC do not have any kind of problem and this problem does not happen on specific tracks but randomly from time to time on tracks that previously sounded fine

Very hard to suggest a remedy for a problem which occurs randomly. I've certainly never seen anything like you describe in the many years I've used various releases of moOde.

For a start, post the whole System info log and not just the first portion.

Also, for mysterious problems with Raspberry Pi's, the first question is always "are you using an official RPi power supply?" [1] Power may not be the issue but we can't assume anything.

Is the issue that sometimes the same tracks display the correct duration and play fine but other times they do not?

[PJVervoorn]

I would ask if the songs -that you marked- also play just a few seconds, or do they play the whole length?
It seems unlikely moOde corrupts the files since they play correct on another device (PC).
Are it always the same files that have the wrong length?
You say the files come from different sources. Did you modify the tags for these files?
I suspect a tagging problem...
