Further, at http://users.rcn.com/astockdale/ you can get 
http://users.rcn.com/astockdale/Transcription.zip which contains 
'Transcriber Guide.pdf' 'A GUIDE TO USING TRANSCRIBER TO TRANSCRIBE 
AND PREPARE DIGITAL AUDIO DATA FOR QUALITATIVE ANALYSIS', where on 
page 3 we read:

"The current version (1.5.1) doesn't correctly calculate the time 
points within MP3 files. This appears to be a problem in the Snack 
Sound Library used by Transcriber. (Note that Snack will be replaced 
in the next official version.) The problem results in the timing 
being off by slightly more than a quarter of a second every minute. 
On very short files this is almost unnoticeable but on longer files 
it will be very noticeable, resulting in about 17 seconds of drift on 
a one hour interview. I would suggest using WAV or OGG files with 
Transcriber. These are both handled correctly.'

I have a 40-minute OGG file (converted from WAV) which plays fine in 
Audacity, M Player OS X, and VLC.  However, when I open the same file 
in Transcriber (1.5.1 or 1.5.2) it plays as noise, and the waveform 
display is mostly black.  Any suggestions as to what is going on?
