Title: Songs cut off at beginning
Post by: Splungeworthy on January 09, 2012, 01:44:08 pm
Ok so I need some help here.  I've tried searching through the forums but I can't seem to find the answer to a simple question.  When I click on a song to listen to it, the first 1/4 of a second of the song is cut off.  An example is the very beginning of "Tom Sawyer".  When I pause it, and move to the beginning of the song using the seek bar, and then unpause, it plays from the very beginning.  Also, there is a very noticeable click when transitioning between 2 segued songs.  I am using the following settings: Switch Tracks: Gapless-Do Not Play Silence(Unchecked)-Use Gapless For Sequential Album Tracks(Checked)-Play Silence at Startup(none)-Play Tracks from Memory(Unchecked).  Otherwise, I love MC17.

Welcome.

Try setting it to play some silence at startup.  Your hardware may eat a little bit of the startup sound.

(p.s. Is your username a reference to Seinfeld?)

Thanks for the info. And yes, it's a combo-tribute to Seinfeld...and Monty Python! What about the click sound between segued songs? I know some players have a problem being completely gapless-there's always a slight sound in the transition.  My files are usually 192k mp3's and WMA's.  BTW it's totally awesome that MC plays Zune Marketplace songs!

The click might be a Windows sound.  Try disabling them in Control Panel.

something else to check (doubt this is the issue) is go to player/preview mode and make sure play entire song is marked, and not one of the options where the song starts playing 30 seconds in.
