Agreed. Anyone know how to get in touch with him? I used his audio player code, found some bugs, and want to give him the fixes. Tried the email listed on his Profile page, but never heard back.

ChaN, if you're out there:

The original code fails to load WAV's containing metadata – even though an intent to tolerate them appears written into some of the handlers (DISP, LIST FCC, etc). I can provide files from Audacity which reproduce the issue.

Moved remaining details here to avoid boring the HN audience: https://pastebin.com/raw/XdneQ8xh

You may have luck with his BBS, it's linked at the bottom of the home page.

Thanks. Tried that as well but didn't get a response (and most of the conversation in other threads seemed to be Chinese which unfortunately I didn't understand)

It was more likely Japanese but that doesn't help you.

Thanks, my bad.

Indeed, his work on SD cards is also excellent, very applicable and has been invaluable for me when working with SD cards on STM32 microcontrollers.
