Playing on Google Home: this format cannot be played on this device

I have a bunch of MP3s (file says: MPEG ADTS, layer III, v1, 192 kbps, 44.1 kHz, Stereo) which I can call up with the astiga integration for google home. I've concatenated 5 of these into a single mp3 file using mp3cat so that it could be played without the between-track title announcements that google forces, but for the combined file I get "this format cannot be played on this device". Any tips?

    Hi retorquere,

    Did you use the same advanced settings for making it one .mp3. The output of mp3cat is probably different.

    Good luck!

    Advanced settings in what sense? I just took the existing mp3's, and ran `mp3cat -o ../all.mp3 *.mp3`

    Aha oke. What does the mp3cat file says about bitrate and codec? So can you compare it to the original files?
