Hi, I just had a problem that is not described in the faq and it was quite hard to find the right fix so I wanted to send it here, hoping it will be added to the faq. The error message is the same as in: http://www.xiph.org/archives/vorbis/200210/0073.html Warning: Hole in data found at approximate offset 5238000 bytes. Corrupted ogg. In this case it was caused by id3tags added by grip. Using id3v2 (http://id3v2.sf.net) to remove the tags fixed this problem. id3v2 -d *.ogg id3v3 -s *.ogg <p><p># Han -- FreeBSD: The Power (__) I'm changing the CHANNEL ...

Thanks for bringing this problem (and solution!) to our attention.

It does happen reasonably often. I've had to put a notice on my website because WinVorbis doesn't support ogg files with id3v2 tags and I had a few complaints when I first released it. Most rippers were designed for MP3 encoding and Ogg support was added later. Options such as "Add ID3 tag" are often left on when someone switches from MP3 to Ogg.
