After thinking about it, I reject the bad file hypothesis without further experiments. My logic: Assume there is exactly one bad file out of 40 hours of music. The probability of coming upon that file when randomly shuffling is 63% in 40 hours, and 95% in five days. In other words, the chance that I will not come upon it before 5 days is only 5%. The probability that I observed failures five times somewhere around 5 days apart is 3 chances in 10 million. For a hypothesis of more than one bad file, the chance of my observations is even smaller. The "memory leak" model makes more sense. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ joegorin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=68547 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=110255 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
