What about writing a batch file to concatenate an mp3 of 5 seconds of silence onto the front of every song and modify the file names to show they have been padded. Consider it like the dead space between tracks on the old vinyl records. Mike -- "Creativity is intelligence having fun." — Albert E

hard drive or ssd? What size and how much free space? Have you tried running top to see if the CPU is getting overloaded? Are you doing regular updates? You say it was running fine, did you start having problems after an update. If that is the case, do you really need to do the updates? If it ain't
