Hello : )
I have tried to upload some mp3 music files to my zope 2.6.1. To do this I have both tried the "add file" option in the management interface and used the product "CMF-friendly Audio object" found here: http://zope.org/Members/bowerymarc/CMFAudio
However when i play (view) these mp3 songs or embed them in a web page, some of the songs get a silent moment (about a second) just a few seconds after I start to play them. Now I wonder what could be the reason for this?
It's not Audio/CMFAudio. Those are based on File, and just try to call whatever generic plugin your browser client uses to play back audio. They just feed the audio data to your client.
I have tried to modify/compress an mp3 song using lame, but this does not help. I have also used winamp to study the diferences between the mp3 files that play well and those who does not. A difference I notice is that the well played songs are encoded by "Exact Audio Copy (Secure mode)", whereas the unsuccessful songs have no information about encoding. I do not know if this matters.
Currently (unless someone else updated it) Audio only recognizes id3 version 1 tags, but that only affects cataloging, not the playing of the file at all. I would guess that, unless you have silence in front of your file, what you're seeing is a delay of your client loading the plugin to play back mp3 format.
Thanks!
