Summary0002504: Auto-converted iTunes tracks stop playing partway through the song
DescriptionI'm not certain of the repro steps for this issue, however, by doing the following steps, I'm able to cause a track to play only partially:

1) Synch/Auto-converted the file at 128kbps
-->Playback on the iPod works correctly
2) Synch/Auto-convert using the following settings:
Manual settings
VBR
V5
Joint stereo
Advanced
Sample 44100 (Mpeg1)
Encoding quality 5
Bitrate min no limit
Bitrate max no limit
VBR method new (faster)
Use Bit reservoir
Strict Iso Complience

-->Playback on the iPod is interrupted partway through the track (even though it plays correctly in MM from the iPod)

3) Synch/auto-convert again at 128kbps
--> Playback on the iPod is interrupted partway through the track (even though it plays correctly in MM from the iPod)--even though this setting previously worked!!

Also, now when I do an iPod DB Update, MM always generates an AV.

Posting iPod db, original wma track, and mp3 track from the iPod to the ftp server.

Verified 2.5.3.964.

re-opening just to confirm that the new behaviour is as-designed:
If I previously copied a track Bob Marley | One Love and it was buggy (i.e. playback stops partway through) and then recopy the track using the new build, then the iPod ends up containing 2 versions of the song: the old buggy one and the new one.

I don't think this is much of an issue, since users facing this problem will probably want to delete and resynch their entire collections, but I just want to make sure that this is what you'd intended.

This shouldn't be related to this bug, it can happen if MM doesn't know it's the same track - e.g. if you synchronize it from another DB, the track has another internal ID and is synchronized as a new track.
