[mp3togo] Re: mp3togo 0.5.0

Sim,

Sorry for delay - just got back from the US.

I am trying out 0.5.3, and this is the log I see:

If you think it might help, I could send you one of these ogg files to 
see if you can reproduce the problem.

I wonder if it may be because this is a 64 bit platform?
Or perhaps because my locale is em_GB?
