After checking the sources, it looks like some (pre-4.8.0) mp3 files 
could have been tagged with the wrong contest category. It appears to 
affect PHONE, MIXED or RTTY contests (not the CW ones).

if you want to listen them with WT 4.8.0 or better, tt means the mp3 
tags of these recorded files must be modified with mp3tag 
(http://www.mp3tag.de/en/) to match the contest category in the _Title_ 
tag with the contest file setting. The filenames do _not_ need any 
modification.

The contest category (included in the mp3 _Title_ tag) must be one of 
the following (case sensitive) :

- CW
- PHONE
- MIXED
- RTTY
- DIGITAL
- ALL

For example, a CQ WPX Phone file must be tagged :

CQ World Wide WPX Contest PHONE 000

instead of

CQ World Wide WPX Contest SSB 000

(000 for the first file, 001 for the second file if any, etc.).

The mp3 files created with 4.8.0 or better apparently do not suffer this 
bug.

In case of doubt, the wise users will backup these files before 
modifications.

Sri for inconvenience (and tnx for pointing out this bug).
