You're welcome, thanks for your interest.

I never would have figured that out on my own. I've put a note on the
install page on the website about the undocumented dependancy. I
usualy use the Debian package to install mp3togo and that depends on
mpg321 so I would not likely encounter this problem.

That is a bug.

You have figured it out and I've just released a fix. Now in absence
of a Genre tag it uses 12 'Other' instead of crashing.

I've tested it with the failing file and it works properly.

The new version 0.5.8 is available on the website:

Thanks for the great bug report Norman, you had it pretty much figured
out. It makes my job real easy.

I guess that explains how you found the dependancy problem so quickly.

Thanks again,
