Whenever I either download a song or put on mf my CD's on Media Player it
plays great until the last 30 seconds of the song.

When it gets to this part it goes through a 5 second period where the song
jumps and sounds like a scratchy CD.



When I download the song on to a CD and play it on a CD player it is fine.

Can anyone offer me any suggestions on why this is happening or what to do
as it is driving me mad!!!

Thanks!

I know this doesn't help, but i'm having the same problem. I did find a
troubleshooting question that said it could be that media player doesn't play
mp3 well and to find the file Ctmp3.acm and rename it to Ctmp3.bak. (They say
its a Creative PlayCentre MP3 decoder). Unfortunately i can't even find this
file and i know it happens to more than just mp3, it happens to any wma files
as well.
