I've got the Blue Man group ripped from the Audio CD, as well as 1 track from the Audio DVD. Ripped using CDparanoia, encoded with Lame 3.89ish. Plays like a charm under 1.03, and every other mp3 decoded I can find. Even the Rio Receiver plays it quite well.

2.0b3 doesn't seem to like these files at all.

I've put the DVD ripped file up on my website for empeg support, but it now appears that it wasn't just that file.

Symptoms appear as an intense crackling during bass hits, and generalized distortions.
