At exactly 20 seconds prior to the end of every song played (repeat every single song, every single song, every single song) on Windows Media Player 11, there is an unmistakeable and highly annoying "hiccup" or skip in the music. Every single song, whether it was ripped 5 years ago or 5 minutes ago on this computer or on Joe Blow's computer, there is a e..e...e...e...disruption!!!!!!! This ridiculous error is also happening on another brand new computer (Vista) which makes me wonder what is going on in the new WMP11. This doesn't happen on XP running WMP11. Who has the answer to this annoying "growing pain?" And don't blame the source or the ripping please . . . . . . . . . it is definately a program malfunction!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Calm down. If there was such a serious bug I'm sure others would have reported it by now. But just to humor you I tried a half a dozen different songs, all professionally rendered in top of the line professional grade audio software as a Mp3 file and I didn't hear anything. I took it to the next level and "looked" at the song's wave pattern and I don't see anything there either. Not at 20 seconds from the end or anywhere else in the song.
I'm not suggesting YOU don't hear it, simply that I can't duplicate it which suggests it isn't in WMP11.
Give more details. What file type, what birate recorded at, did you try other players, etc.. Also, if you want me or others to test it, post it, so we can try the file you're playing.
