Songs Freeze during Playback
bloodbath:
Just today my Sansa e260R has been acting weird. During playback, the song will freeze/stop for no reason. Pressing play does nothing. I must forward or reverse to another song (which will start playing) and then return to the song I was listening to. I thought it might be the song file at first, but when I replay the song, it does not freeze again. Rockbox itself doesn't appear to be frozen since I can get to the menus, etc. This problem has occured intermittently so far.
I am currently using Rockbox version r15381-071030 with the Sector theme. I mention the theme only because I tweaked the .wps file to show some information I wanted to see (e.g. - the day of the week is now displayed). I don't think this would have any affect, but I'd rather mention it to be safe.
I also have a micro SD card installed. I mention this because yesterday I received an error (I forgot what it said - something about an unspecified parameter or something close to that) while playing a song off the SD card (it wasn't the first time listening to something on the card). Nothing appeared on the Playback screen except for the error message, but I could return to the menus. However, even shutting off the Sansa didn't remove the error (every time I tried to resume playback, I received the error). I finally just tried picking another album and everything worked fine. I then returned to the same album and song I was listening to, and there was no issue. I am not sure if this is related to the new freezing issue or not.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Which codec(s) are you using? There are currently problems with FLAC playback, and also reported issues when switching codecs (i.e. using a mixture)...
I'd doubt it's related to the SD card.
Does this still happen if you reset settings back to default? If not, see if you can work out which setting triggers it. It's unlikely to be WPS related, more something like repeat mode.
The best place to report bugs (assuming the latest build still shows them) is on Flyspray.

Hi, I am seeing the same problem right after I downloaded the latest build song freeze, jump around I can also move around the menus and move within them. I am using a sansa e200 series. I reloaded an older version (r15005-071006) and the problem went away.
Chronon:
Can you find the most recent build that still works? This will help to narrow down which changes to the source might lead to this behavior. Also answer pondlife's questions regarding codec(s) used.

I am only using the mp3 codec. I will try reverting to an earlier version of Rockbox to see if this solves my problem for the time being. I will also try to add the bug to Flyspray.
Do you think the error I received when I was using the SD card is related to the freezing issue?
