How come foobar does a complete belly-up when I try to add a headless ogg to the playlist? (i.e. I do a lot of intentional damage to files with a hex editor just to see what happens :P)

I'll understand if ya don't feel like making foobar *play* such messed up files (not sure if that even works with ogg), but I think at the very least it should just reject them rather than going poof.

(I really wish ogg were as resiliant as MP3 that way... you can do all sorts of nasty things to MP3's and the good parts still play, but oggs are so fragile as soon as you chop their heads off.. *sob*)

I can't duplicate it. I chopped the fronts off of several files, chopping various amounts off each, and foobar just refused to play them.

Yeah, a crash.

But anyway,
Why do you want to chop off Vorbis files?

They may get chopped off if some conditions occur:

1. Transfer error
2. Disk error
3. Hacking with hex-editor
