Sound "hiccup" (hesitation for a split second)

Sometimes only one time, but I can pretty well count on it.

I have had this problem for a long time, but could not determine what was causing it till I read your post. I found, like you, that it only happens after I load a song from someones disc. It doesn't happen right away, sometimes up to an hour or more before it occurs. For the past 6 weeks it has not happened ( 4 shows a week). This week end I loaded a song from someone else's disk on both Friday and Saturday nights. Both nights I got the momentary pause afterwords.

Sunday I set up my show machine at home, created a playlist and played about 10 songs, then loaded a song from a CDG disc, then continued loading from the playlist. Approximately 30 mins. later i got the momentary pause. After the pause I exited Hoster and restarted. I did the same thing again except I loaded more songs from the playlist before loading from the cd. Same results except it waited almost 45 mins before the pause. Did all the above one more time this time I got the pause at about 40 min. I don't know why it does this, but I do know that I can duplicate it.

Then I'd say we're not the only ones. I'll reiterate that there is a definite connection between loading a guest's CDG and the skipping. Food for thought for the techies.

Does the hiccup occur when you get to the point in the playlist where you are playing the import or does it occur on a KMA file sometime after it has played?

It occurs after the imported file has played, while a kma file is playing.

I have not been able to pin down exactly, if there is an exact time when it occurs. It can hiccup at any point after I upload a CDG....Seldom right away, more often than not maybe 3-4 songs away or longer, on a .kma file - not on the uploaded file.

What if you import it but never play it?
Also try importing and then deleting from the playlist.

Just trying to narrow down whether it's the kma's existance that is the problem or playing it triggers something.
