That gives me a work-around at least... In addition to finding a work around, you've also isolated the data that triggers the bug. For at least one of these tracks, please do the following: make a copy of the bug inducing track, re-rip the track, and confirm that the new file doesn't trigger the bug. Please provide these two files to the SD development team. A file comparison between the two should yield a clue as to what is causing the hiccup. --rt ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

I'd love a sample file that exhibits this problem attached to a bug filed at http://bugs.slimdevices.com/ Thanks!

(Something that I probably should've tried before but didn't...) i'd say it's worth a shot. if successful it would isolate the issue and give you a workaround. try alternate software to rip and encode (EAC and LAME recommended). you might also try a different bitrate setting in iTunes. or a more recent release of iTunes. --rt ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Nick McGrogan wrote: Looks like your problem is similar, but perhaps different enough to be separate. In particular: my player is skipping minutes of the track, not just final seconds. e.g., in one 4:39 track the jump happens at approximately 2:30 in. Do you have the web interface open whilst listening? Is it whilst updating that the sounds skips? ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
