Vista - Ripping

I have recently bought a MP3 player & have set about filling it with music
using Windows Media Player, I have noticed that some albums seem to get
unstable & skip a bit like a needle going across a record. The CD's are well
looked after & not scratched. The problem seems to be somewhere in the
ripping process as the tracks skip when played back on the PC, I have tried
ripping the same albums on another PC with similar results so it's not
anything to do with my CD Drive, I tend to think the CD's are read too fast
but that's just my opinion. I'm not 100% sure but I think it may be long
compilation albums IE. Greatest Hits that seem to be the main culprits, any
ideas?

this happens on mine also, no idea why. how did you get your music to play on your mp3? i am trying to put music onto a pendrive to use in the car i can transfer the songs across but they will not play as if the format is incorrect.

Sorry, no idea what your problem is,

Phil.

application running in the background. Things like Windows Update could
be downloading an update while you're trying to play music and that would
intermitently interfere with the audio.

Also, your computer's memory may be overloaded with background programs that
are running without your explicit knowledge. You can look at your Startup
menu by
clicking your Start button at the bottom of your desktop, then click Run,
then type in
msconfig into the text box and then click OK.

This will bring up the systems configuration window. Now, on this window
look for a
tab called Startup and click that tab. This will show you the Startup list.
Each item
showing in this list is currently running in memory. Many of these items
don't need to
running all the time and they are taking up needless memory space.

Review the list of startup items and uncheck any of those programs that
don't need to be
running all the time. Just don't uncheck your Audio or Anti-Virus programs
or SystemTray
or Microsoft Operating System programs. Microsoft Office applications can
be unchecked.

This will apply to Windows 98, Me, XP and Vista.

You must reboot/restart after making the changes. On restart, you'll get a
onetime
message telling you that you are using "Selective Service", click the
checkbox that says
"don't show me this anymore". You're done.

If problem persist...you'll probably have to install more memory or get a
faster
computer.

Thanks,

Phil.
