But does it show that timer when a mpeg1 Layer 2 file is being played?
Yes. I found a 50-second sample file by googling.
Why not simply make one ? Assuming you have basic audio editing
software ...

Thanks, Geoff.
Nowadays I just use Audition 3, which doesn't, as far as I know, enable
saving as .mp2.
When I was actively doing this a long, long time ago, I used to use a
"Media Magic" soundcard with Cool Edit, which was the only affordable
device I could find that supported .mp2. Sadly, I no longer have a
working machine with an ISA bus.
I've just tried Audacity and used it to record a test file. I am
embarrassed to say that I didn't think of looking at Reaper or the other
audio softwares I have here, either.
The countdown timer does work here in both VLC and Windows Media Player
on the files I've created, and I haven't yet managed to get hold of one
of the files that showed him the problem.
I did wonder if vbr .mp2 files might behave differently. I don't know
whether DAB .mp2 is vbr or not.
Soundcard has nothing to do with file format playback - that's the
software. If your audio editor can save an MP2 file ( actually is
MP1-Layer-2) it can play it back thru any soundcard. Even Windows Media
Player can !
Surely Audacity can do it, or Reaper ?
