1) I suggest reading the official Rockbox manual.
2) Please, try to use periods. It's very hard to read what you've said.
3) You can decrease/eliminate the skipping in your music by using a theme without a peakmeter, turning off some or all bands in your equalizer, or doing other things to decrease the CPU power being used.

Which WPS are you using?
What settings have you changed since you first installed Rockbox?
What format is your music in?

sorry but what is WPS?

i have changed equalizer, thems changing, have been taking away all my files on myt mp3 player, scroll speed, language changing and that all i have done i think.

but i had this problem directly after installing rockbox i did not do any changes before i was writing to u.

my music is in Wma and mp3

now i have rockbox_ default and it have no peakmeters
and i have still the problem.
any more idees?

i have noticed when am in play mode in the main manu i have no pauses in the music what i think it might be is the barrometer for the music i meen the lines that go up and down when the music is on i hope u understand me what i mean..

how do i take it away?

That's the peak meter quite a lot of people mentioned earlier. Use a different theme. rockbox_default _has_ peak meters. Use e.g. iCatcher. Also,
- please read the FAQ, it's explained there
- when quoting other posters use the "quote" button (or insert the quotation tags yourself). It's really annoying to wonder about what's quoted and what not. Quoting is there for a reason ...

First of all i want to say am so sorry am new here on this web site and i dont know all the things here...

i have done what u told me to do now and i still have the problem i have done a formatation of the HDD and i only one song on the player and i have still the pauses

what shall i do here next?

Okay.

Make sure you :
1) Use a WPS *without* peak meters (the bars that go up and down) - This you said you did, just make sure to re-do it now that you formatted.
2) Use no more than TWO bands on the graphic equalizer (try not using it) - While everyone above told you to, you failed to answer whether you used it or not.
3) If you use 'database' (formerly known as 'tagcache'), make sure it finished refreshing and then reboot. - Else if it's still scanning in the background it *might* cause a bit of a slowdown.

Now you should have a mostly stable platform for testing and listening to music.

Thing is, as of yet, the second CPU core of the H10 (and other portalplayer devices) hasn't been figured out and using CPU intensive chores (like graphical EQ) tend to overload the one CPU that's actually working.

In time, it will play as good (or better!) as most other Rockbox ports.
