M3 hangs on playing one album

Hello at all,
for some reason my m3 won't play a five song EP from a local band. If I try playing the player freezes and I can only turn it off by long (8sec) pressing the play button. It is ripped from the original CD with grip and coded lame -v2 --vbr-new like all my songs are. All other songs/albums play well. In the folder there's also a cover, which isn't displayed, but it is named like it should and like all other covers are. The tags are also ok, also just named with UTF-8 conform letters.
Has anybody the slightest idea why just this one album won't play?

After a little trying I got it on my own, the cover-file failed to load and that caused the player to freeze for some reason. So I opened the file with GIMP and resized it to 500x500, lowered the pixel/inch and saved it. Now everything works fine, maybe the JPG was just broken or so.

Welcome to the forums! It's always nice to have somebody figure out whats wrong with their own player and be able to fix the problem. That way, they can help others as well.

i was beginning to think that jack wong didnt like local bands...
