I have a series of MP3 files, encoded using 'lame', and tagged using an id3lib application - the tags include an image of the cover.

The MP3 files are low bitrate (48Kbps), and mono.

MediaPlayer does not appear to extract or use any of the ID3V2 tags - I can understand this if the ID3V2 code has not yet been implemented - however, Mediaplayer refuses to play these files at all:

I Have a short (13Kb) MP3 file that will not play, but am unable to attach it to this message.

Thanks SBT ... do you know if there are any plans to support mono MP3s?

Ive also tried some other combinations, and have found that stereo 64Kbps files do not seem to work either - 96Kbps stereo work OK. Ive not tried joint stereo.

I have also noticed that the fast-forward and rewind options in media player don't work (certainly with 30 minute, 96Kbps Stereo MP3s, stored on a network mounted drive).
