Hi, the smiley was because of this: My Samsung MT6 has problems with some files 
(the firmware is upgradable, but Samsung just doesn't provide updates. The are 
"investigating the problems" (since about January)): Either the filenames itself 
are too long or use unexpected UTF8 characters, or the tags do. It displays the 
famous "no file" when trying to play. That's why I suggested to have some 
compatibility tests. For meta-stuff like that a stupid sound like "ding dong" 
would be OK. The other tink that should be tested (IMHO) are varying bitrates, a 
sinus sweep of fixed volume, and white noise, or whatever.
