<p class=MsoNormal>VLC Media Player Team:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I'm running the VLC Media Player 1.1.6 and I wanted to
report some issues with regards to MP3 playback.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>With some MP3 files, VLC Media Player doesn't display the
embedded cover artwork when playing the file even though all other media
players will display the artwork just fine. I have an example MP3 file that
triggers this issue if you would like me to send it to you. The embedded
artwork displays in Windows Media Player, Real Player, etc., but VLC Media
Player doesn't recognize that there's any embedded artwork in the file.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Also, I've noticed that VLC Media Player doesn't display the
bitrate correctly with certain MP3s. Maybe it's only happening with
variable bitrate MP3s but I don't know for sure. My example MP3 file is a
variable bitrate MP3 but VLC Media Player displays that it's a constant bitrate
128 kb/s MP3.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thanks for your consideration in looking into these issues.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Best,<o:p></o:p></p>
