My *guess* is that mplayer may still have an open handle to the file.<br><br>I forget the call to lsof off the top of my head, but does that indicate mplayer holding anything open on the mp3 player?<br><br>-WMM<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

I've got a "Chinese MP3 player" off eBay last year and it seemed to work<br>
fine. I'm having an interesting problem now but I'm not sure if it is<br>
Linux related or MP3 player related.<br>
<br>
I can copy a mp3 to it. I can then play that mp3. I can play mp3s from<br>
it but if I umount it and remount it the mp3 that I just copied is<br>
corrupted.<br>
<br>
$ mount /dev/sdd1 /mnt<br>
$ cp /tmp/music.mp3 /mnt<br>
$ sync<br>
$ mplayer /mnt/music.mp3 # This works<br>
$ umount /mnt<br>
$ mount /dev/sdd1 /mnt<br>
$ mplayer /mnt/music.mp3 # Fails it is corrupt<br>
<br>
<br>
