You mean wrong with this particular one, or with the gigabeat in general?  What kind of problem could it be, do you think?  Otherwise it seems to work perfectly, and I dont have any problems at all with mp3s.  Doesnt really make sense to me...

I don't have many wmas but I have noticed this on some too. I'm sure it didn't do this a while ago so I'll try installing some old builds to pin point the change that caused it. Of course it could just be that I didn't play any files that did it before. I wonder if its a certain wma version that causes it?

Well, the decoder is the same on both the Gigabeat and Ipod (they're both ARM CPUs), so if one works and the other doesn't I'd assume something is wrong with the Gigabeat.  Could be a bad install of rockbox.

How many files don't decode right?  And do they always have exactly the same problem in the same part of the track?

What player?  And how do they sound in a PC app like foobar?

It seems to vary by entire album.  I will do some investigation after the kids go to bed tonight, as to how many, and if the sounds are always in the same spots.  

Could it be that the ipod as well as my computer sound card do some kind of hardware filtering that is not done in the gigabeat hardware?  That could explain why the ipod/gigabeat simulator wouldnt show problems in the wma files.
