Here's a bug report on something which has been annoying me since Media Jukebox 8 (maybe even 7?) and is still present in Media Center 10.0.114.
If the playback option "Do not play silence" is enabled, it is much too sensitive. Certain songs have their rhytm changed, because very short passages of silence between drum-beats are shortened by enabling this function.
To hear the effect, try playing the track "Mother Stands for Comfort" from the Kate Bush album "Hounds of Love". At the very beginning of the track there are three drum-beats three times in a row, with passages of silence between the drum-beats of up to approx. 1.15 seconds. These passages are shortened so that the rhytm of the drum-beats is significantly and annoyingly changed.
It is my opininion that the "Do not play silence" option is intended to skip long passages of silence within tracks, or at the beginning and end of tracks - not change the rhytm of the music.
If the sensitivity of the "Do not play silence" option could be increased to at least two seconds or more, I think it would work more as intended.
...or maybe I'm just listening to the wrong kinds of music?
Since this is more of an annoyance than a crippling horrendous error, I understand that it will be given a low priority - it would still be nice to have it fixed though.
Best Regards,
