You're probably right though I guess it might depend a little on how "random" the random playlist is and whether it plays all songs at least once before repeating songs, Granted, the "bad" file hypothesis does seem like a bit of a stretch. I guess I was just wondering if you could come up with an experiment that would break through the 5 day barrier, which would then perhaps point at something with the library as opposed to a software issue. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ sodface's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=19057 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=110255 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
