It is MP3 format. I can say that it is a Johnny Cash album and most of my Johnny Cash I converted from VBR down to a slightly lower constant bitrate like if it was 210KBPS VBR I would make it 192KBPS using iTunes. I really don't know what is causing this, I am just trying to give out info. I will try with a flat or disabled equalizer and post my results.
*EDIT* The hard drive has spun the whole time during this song, about 3 minutes and it is still spinning while on the next song. I don't believe that is normal. I can get it to stop if I pause the song, go the main menu and wait about 10 seconds then it stops and I can resume the song.
*EDIT AGAIN* Ok after 4 minutes the hard drive finally stopped spinning during playback. Song still pauses about every 20-30 seconds.
*EDIT ONCE MORE* It is not the wps. I just tested other ones that are pretty plain and the music still skips.
*WHEN WILL I STOP UPDATING?* It is not the equalizer, I disabled it and I am using a basic wps and the song still skips. It is 320kbps mp3 so I doubt this is one of my vbr conversions. Any ideas?
