But I'm no mp3 expert ;-) The "lost sync" message means that the mp3 decoder has detected something in the stream, which can't be decoded. This can be a ID3 tag but some other garbage too. The next message "skipping over ID3 tag" means that a ID3 tag was recognised. The messages are not related to the image processing in any way. You don't have to worry about these messages unless you get tons of header/decode errors after a lost sync. Regards. -- Stefan Huelswitt s.huelswitt@xxxxxx | http://www.muempf.de/
