 12651 RockboxBugsMusic playbackLow MOD files are not supposed to loop 2012-04-211 Task Description

MichaelGiacomelli (saratoga) was wrong to close my previous bug report on MOD files looping. MOD files are not supposed to loop. A MOD file contains a piece of music with a beginning and an end. Although a MOD file may have instructions for playing a certain segment more than once, the MOD file as a whole should end at some point. Computer programs that play MOD files get this right. Rockbox should too, or its ability to play MOD files is useless.
 12650 RockboxBugsMusic playbackLow MOD files repeat endlessly 2012-04-20 Task Description

I presume this is a problem for all players, but in case it matters, I am using a Sansa Clip Zip. All the MOD files I’ve played on my player will repeat endlessly instead of stopping at the end. This is frustrating, because I would like to play several MODs in sequence, as I used to do on my Amiga. I played the same MOD files on my computer with VLC, and each one stopped when it reached the end.
12649RockboxBugsMusic playbackLowSome MIDI files crash the player2012-04-201 Task Description

I'm using a Sansa Clip Zip, which hasn't been added to the Player Type list. I've noticed that several MIDI files crash the player, reporting OUT OF MEMORY and MALLOC BARF errors. This is more likely to happen with MIDI files with many instruments, such as orchestral pieces. One example is a MIDI file for Debussy's La Mer. It tries to load all instruments into memory before playing and will crash without playing anything. I don't know if this can be fixed with better memory management or if my player just has too little RAM.
