The other thing that to me discounts network issues is that this happens reliably and repeatably with certain tracks or combinations of tracks. Now none of those mp3 files appear to be particularly demanding - the problem doesn't occur with FLAC files run at full bandwidth.
Additional things I have noticed: 1. normally track 3 on this album stutters when it begins. I tried deleting track 2 from the playlist, so it goes 1->3 instead of 2->3. Result: No skip when track 3 starts. 2. next, I tried deleting track 3 from the playlist, so it goes 2->4 instead of 2->3. Result: SKIP when track 4 starts. So it appears that the bad behavior is being caused by something about the way track 2 ENDS, not how track 3 (or 4) BEGINS. (These are legal, licensed mp3 files downloaded from emusic.com.) 3. another oddity: after the buffer fullness drops to zero when track 2 is still playing, it starts climbing up again presumably buffering track 3. Since it is not emptying the buffered audio of track 3 - yet - it is very strange that the buffer fullness climbs then DROPS -- it goes 0% 2% 5% __4%__ 8%. -- mkosma _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
