I tested with both Ogg Vorbis and FLAC files, and didn't find any files that cracked. However, I just tried a few other files from my music library, and I found one Ogg Vorbis file which cracks as well, and I know it did not do so before. So apparently the problem does not only occur with MP3s. - Josh Triplett
