I don't know if this is just one of those things but things got very scary for about 30 secs.
I'm reading a web page, MC is playing a play list and I've got it in mini mode.
As one track ends a message comes up saying MC can't find a track and I must check the path. So I go to mega and see that the focus has moved down about 15 tracks and stopped. I click on play and the whole thing freezes. I wait for a bit and MC comes back to life so I go back to the track following the one that last played OK and click play. Suddenly MC starts going down the list track after track with the can't find the file message so I go to Task Manager to close MC. Nothing happens again for a bit but then in quick succession I get three end now screens which I click on and finally MC goes down.
I reopen MC, go back to the playlist and carry on from where the trouble started off with no problems.
Like I say, may just be one of those PC things but thought you ought to know about it.

Sounds like Gremlins.  Better not leave any water out.

Testify!

I had a weird problem (once). I was in ML and typed a few characters in the Search Box to find a particular file. MC found it. I then went back to the SB and tried to clear it. Durn thing wouldn't let me (I was locked out). MC worked fine otherwise. Had to shut down MC and restart. Gremlins indeed!
