I have successfully used this plugin on many sites, but I have a client who is having MP3 issues. The MP3 will load and play, but it sounds like chipmunks. Can you tell me why this is happening?? THanks.

I have the same problem, when mp3 is coded by Lame everything is ok. But when coded by Fraunhofer the mp3 play's at double speed, i hope there will be a bug fix for this problem.

Besides that, AllVideos Plugin is really cool!

The client is using WavePad, importing CD track, converting to MP3 16bit mono constant bit rate.  NOT using VBR.  Any other ideas?

Thanx for you're reaction, I'll try to not encode in VBR  :)

He used 16kbps to keep the file size down.  It is just talking, no music.  Could it be too low??

Re-encoded at 36bit and it works fine.  Tried another one at 16 and it did the chipmunks again.  I'll have the client stick with 36kbps.  Now we know :)  Thanks for your help.

Hi, i've tested some different bitrates (Lame). Some of the bitrates are playing to fast (like chipmunks), most of them play ok. I hope there will be a bugfix for this problem in the future.

Here are the results:

#!/bin/bash

#Source file
SF=./test.wav

# -r    Assume  the  input  file  is  raw  pcm
# -m j  Joint-stereo
# -m m  Mono
# -a    Mix the stereo input file to mono
# -b xx  Bitrate
# --abr  Average bitrate


lame -a  -b 16    $SF test-b16-a.mp3 //ok
lame -m m --abr 16 $SF test-abr16-m.mp3 //ok
lame -a  --abr 16 $SF test-abr16-a.mp3 //ok

lame -a  --abr 24 $SF test-abr24-a.mp3 //plays to fast

lame      -b 32    $SF test-b32.mp3 //ok
lame      --abr 32 $SF test-abr32.mp3 //ok
lame -a  --abr 32 $SF test-abr32-a.mp3 //ok

lame      --abr 40 $SF test-abr40.mp3 //plays to fast
lame      --abr 56 $SF test-abr56.mp3 //ok
lame      --abr 64 $SF test-abr64.mp3 //ok
lame      --abr 96 $SF test-abr96.mp3 //plays to fast

lame      -b 96    $SF test-b96.mp3  //plays to fast
lame      $SF test.mp3 //ok
