Garbled playback of some mp3s with builtin player
I like to listen to mp3 podcasts with my phone, but I have discovered that when I use the built in media player, the playback of certain podcasts seems to become garbled after a minute or so, with the audio jumping back and forth between different bits of the file, and sometimes the sound quality becomes warbly and echoey. Skipping to a different time in the podcast can cause the playback to temporarily return to normal, but then it deteriorates again. All of the problematic mp3s work fine from my laptop (running Debian unstable).
I've linked to a few examples below of podcasts that have problems:
And here is one which does not have problems:
If one episode of a particular podcast is problematic, it seems that all, or at least many, of them are, so I'm assuming it's something about the particular encoding parameters that causes trouble. Any thoughts?
