Transcoded flac files will not play online

[ghost]

For some flacs (not all unfortunately), the transcoded versions will not play on the google play music page. Nor will they play on my android devices. Not sure how to debug this, but let me know.

Thanks for the bug report. Could you send me an email with one of the flacs that doesn't play?

If you want to dig into this yourself, I'd recommend uploading the same file through my code and through the Music Manager (you may need to delete it between uploads). Take a look at issue #56 too.

I'm likely going to switch to making the Music Manager do uploading for me in the coming weeks, and I assume this would be fixed with that change.

Actually, I won't be using the Music Manager, but I will have the server do transcoding for me. Hopefully that will fix the issue.

Hang tight; server transcoding is on the way: https://github.com/simon-weber/Unofficial-Google-Music-API/tree/protocol-fixes.

I'm going to close this issue, since I don't use this method of transcoding anymore. #56 is tracking the related concerns regarding current uploading support.
