I'm finally getting really tired of most (if not all...) of my music files briefly pausing multiple, random times during playback. This occurs using both iTunes and Windows Media Player on my laptop and using my mp3 players. I've tried re-ripping some of the songs that I took off of some of my CDs, but it doesn't make them play correctly. So I don't think it's even something to do with a messed up transmission for songs I've purchased online and downloaded there, imported using someone's flashstick, or ripped from a CD. I'm so sick of it! There are also some songs I think that once played back completely but now start playing then then suddenly it's skipped to the next song. I guess these problems are likely related, but the skipped songs are the same couple and the pausing occurs on basically all songs.
