Comment 1 for bug 1070213

There may be several bugs here but here are some possible fixes that would have help:

- display the start and end of the file name if there are no id3 tags (I suspect that most of files have but almost none of *mine* have as they come from itunes which puts all that data in its private files, bah),

- filter out the files that won't be playable (see attached file for such an example).

The later may be tricky if different players have different capabilities (say, AAC files can be played on macs but the u1 servers may have no idea on how to detect that).

Note 'man file' may give hints on how to filter some obviously non-playable files but may not be the ultimate solution either (AAC example again). On the other hand, the web music player capabilities may be better known so at least for it, the filtering may be more precise (no .ogg, no AAC, no nothing if the player is not able to play the format).

Finally (and that may be a different bug by itself), I've been tricked by the web player feedback with the arrow icon, which when clicked for an unplayable file, turned into a blank square. I only realized what was happening when a valid song started to play and the blank square turned into a level meter...
