Default Music skips?

Ive loaded a few cds worth of music on my memory card and the music skips with htc audio manager and wmp. IIRC I ripped these at a high variable bit rate.

Any suggestions?

I was thinking of a bluetooth stereo headset but it isnt worth the cost if the music is just going to play this poorly.

Now this is odd.

I googled music skipping and ran across a review that mentioned turning on airplane mode to stop the music skipping when sprint was searching for a network. I tried that, music ran fine, then turned airplane mode off, got the replog.exe error I get every now and then and the music still played fine.

I repeated airplane mode on,off got no replog error and still playing fine so far. I'll try it when I'm out and see if there's a difference.

Would making the pagepool size larger help?

argggh - already skipping on another song before I can even get out the door.

and now my storage card is reading gibberish again so audio manager cant detect files

** turns out that airplane mode doesnt always turn on when you click it. Now that I verify the signal meters have an x it appears to have eliminated the skipping.

Is there a solution that doesnt turn the phone and bluetooth functions off?

What are you using to play these songs? What other programs do you have installed? I used to have a similar problem. At the time I had PCM keybord was installed and running and using HTC AudioManager. Changing the PCM keyboard to another input method would fix the problem. I think with the new version of PCM keyboard I don't experience that anymore.playing listenning to music. Also Install anewer version of HTC AudioMnanager.

Definitely get the BlueTooth headset. its excellent.

I've had the problem with WMP and HTC audio manager. I contacted Sprint and they said it was a known problem and HTC is working on it and they would notify me when that fix was available. We shall see.

It plays fine for music at work. I just need an 8gb card and bluetooth headset. I'm liking the jaybird but we shall see, it's going to be awhile before I can toss down the coin.

ps. I use touchpal

Maybe not the headset. Do Podcasts or streaming audo do the same?
