Very curious... I've not noticed that myself, at least since (and this is a fair while ago) I stopped downloading things with a very old version which was stalling out mid download and causing a break in the file which was audible on playback. I've not actually used GiP for the past five or six months. (!)

For a while, the audio has been concurrently encoded for multiple formats using cloud computing so there's no shortage of physical power available. However that's not to say that there is a bug somewhere causing problems.

If anyone could provide PIDs, if they come across a programme with glitching (like the RNG episode), that'd be incredibly useful.

(I've been unscientifically listening to a handful of things today and I'm beginning to think there's a separate, low level problem with some or all of the Audio Factory live streams which may - or may not - also be audible in the on-demand versions, but I need to do lots more sleuthing to ensure it's not just my brain tricking me)

Thanks
Chris

For many months, probably since the middle of last year, I have noticed
this effect on random programs downloaded in UK as aacstd files. Some
way in, perhaps 15/20 minutes, the sound sounds as though the sound has
been momentarily interrupted. The interruptions get longer and increase
in frequency then reduce. The whole thing lasts less than a minute and I
don't recall two such instances in one program.

Problem is ... I don't listen to programs in order so I am not sure
whether it was a problem which has now ended or whether it is still
happening.
