Add music to wiiflow cause games to not load

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. I added mp3 files to the music folder
2. Loaded several games and most will freeze when they worked before
3. The freeze will happen right after selecting a game and the please wait 
screen appears. The screen stays there as the music continues to play.
4. If the screen does not freeze then the music will stop playing and the 
please wait screen disappears and the game begins. Like it should.
5. I deleted all the music of the wiiflow folder and all games begin 100% of 
the time.
6. I am positive that the issue has to do with having music in the music folder.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected output is that the game should run. What I see instead is that the 
game stays stuck in the please wait screen and the mp3 song continues to play 
when it should stop playing.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
I am using the Wii USA version running 4.1 version.
Wiiflow 2.2 beta rev 254

Please provide any additional information below.

bitrate of the mp3 is to high, or the mp3 is to big

What would be the highest bitrate that wiiflow can take?

What is the highest amount of size the mp3 file can be?

What is the maximum number of mp3 files I can have in the music folder?

This sounds similar possibly to the issue I'm seeing.  When I choose the play 
button Wiiflow locks up on please wait screen, seemingly every time.  If I use 
B+A to load the game while pointing at the cover it loads the game fine.  I 
haven't tried without music in my music folder, but will soon if I find the 
time and report back.  Workaround for me is to just use B+A in the meantime.

I am also facing this issue. I have an mp3 file playing. I figured out what the 
problem is. If you start the game while the game audio is playing back it will 
freeze. Wait for the game audio to stop the mp3 to start playing again and no 
more issue.

yes i had the same problem, and i figured  out how to solve it.
i had several mp3's with a bit rate over 200kbps. the music wouldn't play and 
every game was stuck on the loading screen, however i put songs lower then 
200kbps and waalah it works seamlessly :) hope this helps if anyone else gets 
stuck on this issue
