I have a Windows installation around here, I’ll try to use one of the ID666 tag editors available for it, thanks. But the weird part is that I remember playing my Axelay SPC files non-stop on Rhythmbox, the same files that now loop only two times. Maybe the default behavior of Rhythmbox was to loop forever, and now it has changed.

Roberto: You need to edit the SPC file’s ID666 tag to remove the song length ideally. SPC’s don’t (typically) have a built-in length since they just looped forever in the real game. So if it’s cutting off it’s due to the SPC metadata telling the player to stop.

For KDE 3 I had a kfile_spc plugin that would allow you to view/edit metadata but that hasn’t been ported over yet. :-/

I know this is a pretty old entry but… well, here it goes anyway. A few months ago, I used to play SPC files on an infinite loop on Rhythmbox (Debian Lenny). Now I only get two loops. Is there a way to get the infinite looping back?

And thanks, gst-spc is amazing!
