[QUOTE="cp30, post: 1366421, member: 236973"] sooo... if I play Man Man's album Life Fantastic, all of the songs skip at about 5 seconds. The history for this particular album....I uploaded from the original CD directly onto my MBP last year, then when I got the warranty replaced WD Passport I moved the files from my MBP to my Passport, prior to which the album played normally. Off the top of my head, this also happens with Ratatat, which I took off of a friends' iPod. In both cases the songs consistently skip. There has been no variation in those songs which work and do not work. And like I said, i think it's probably about 10% of what is now about 11000 songs and specific to certain (or at least entire) albums..that is, as a rule of thumb, if one song in an album skips, they all do. Also, conversely, (can I say that?) if a song works, so will the rest. Passport is currently connected via Firewire ...800, though I have two of each USB and firewire 800 and have tried all four cables. I think you're right about frigged song files, but what would cause this?...and seemingly so randomly...or sporadically? I thought this might have been more common than I'm gathering it actually is. :( [/QUOTE]
