Default Music skipping/freezing

Hello everyone,
I have a vm intercept that i use as my primary mp3 player and for car audio through aux input. Lately the music has started freezing/skipping atleast 5 times per song. Even tho the music freezes for fraction of a second, it is still annoying the heck out of me.
I asked dr. google for help and apparently many other people on some other phones also have the same issue. Can anybody suggest what to do to get rid of this issue please? Thanks

I have the same problem while riding the subway. I finally realized that it happens every time I gain or lose a signal. This happens frequently when riding the subway. The only fix I know of is to turn on airplane mode. Obviously not a good solution if you need to have your phone working while listening, but it works for me in the subways since I can't realistically use my phone anyway (I just get flickers of signal).

I just got my Virgin Mobile Intercept last weekend. Used it yesterday w/ the audible.com app and the aux port in my car, no problems. Plugged the phone into the wall last night (in a power strip) and had the stutter issue today.

Only thing I've done to the phone is inxane's recovery (Android ver: 2.1-update 1). Tried 4 microsd cards (2 8gb sdhc, the 2gb sd that came with it and another 2gb I had), mp3 & tunein radio have the same problem. Calls are fine though.

Tried uninstalling audible and deleting folder from sd card, rebooted phone twice. Yesterday evening I did notice that the Notifications bar wouldn't pull down, but after the first restart this morning everything but playback was fine. Second restart I left the phone off for 10 minutes.

The lady I was talking with at audible heard what it was doing and was on the line while I tried mp3 & tunein, her suggestion, which is what I'm probably going to have to do, was to return the phone and get it exchanged.

EDIT:
Just did the factory reset in inxane recovery, tried the mp3 from my sdcard, same issue.

Try flashing a new kernel. I had inxane's from one of the rooting tutorials. From irc I found that the newest version of his recovery is much better, and that vampirefo's kernel w/ /system as ext2 and /data /cache as ext4 is really nice.

I did those things and my playback is fixed.
