I've seen a strange problem crop up twice now that I'd like to see if anyone else has experienced.
I listen to 24-bit filesets on my PC with winamp. It's an old version, v5.35.
I encode my own 24-bit filesets with flac v1.20a. Those playback fine.
Twice this week I've downloaded 24-bit filesets of recent phish shows and had them skip on playback. It's not stuttering playback, not gaps in the stream. The file will play a couple of seconds, then jump several seconds (sometimes up to 45-60), then play another fragment, then jump again.
The most recent fileset I've seen this with was encoded with Trader's Little Helper, no version number given.
When I extract the (otherwise error-free) fileset to .wav and re-encode with my own flac v1.20a, everything plays back normally.
Has anyone else seen this?
Have you tried upgrading Winamp, or tried out Foobar2000? I've been encoding my own recordings with FLAC 1.2.1, and my Foobar2000 setup has no problems with it - nor does Winamp 5.551.
