Hey Jim and Gerald
I concur with Jim's theory here. If you can just sit and watch your download
happen you usually get a good mp3 file but if you get antsy and start
surfing or opening other programs you tend to get annoying skips and blips,
especially on a narrow bandwidth connection. And yes, its does happen on a
Mac. They're not perfect, but close!
