Yeah, did that, and it started working again. Until I started playing
the same podcast again, then it hung again. And because the LCD screen
was on while I was playing it, it stayed on, even well after the LCD
timeout. The first time it happened, the screen was off, so stayed off -
none of the keys/buttons were responsive at all. So I poked the reset
button and it restarted just fine, so I think it's just a really
badly-formed MP3 file.

As mentioned previously:

>>I'm not currently using rockbox on my player

But I appreciate the advice folks, thanks very much. I think I'll hang
onto this bad MP3 file and see if I can reproduce any other issues with
it once I *do* get Rockbox running on my player.

Happy New Year to all,
