What could be the cause of this ? Playing a MP3 radiostation (from the webmedia radistations)  I experienced already twice that MJ suddenly freezes with a repeated high tone, like a cd that is "hanging".Nothing can be done anymore.  I can only hit the Escape button after which my computer reboots with Scandisk running.I then get a warning that a certain TMP file is damaged.( I forgot to note which tmp file)
I hope somebody can help me on this.Could it be a bug ?

Bump

Additional info : Already had this problem several times, but only with radiostations in MP3. With "Live" stations there is no problem.
When it is a bug, I can live with that, hoping it will be fixed.But I would like to know.
Please help.

Try switching playback to wav out instead of DirectX.

Also, update to 8.0.254.  It's a good build.

[Birdie]

Playback Mode was already in "Wave Out". But I will update to 8.0.254 and wait how it will go.If the problem continues,I will tell you.

[Birdie]

I updated to 254 and 256 (and will tonight to 257) and had no problems until now. Using the basic functions of MJ I am already very satisfied with MJ.
However I am just curious: Could my "problem" have been caused by the bandwidth of the chosen station ? As far as I remember it occurred particularly with 128k stations (although I have a cable modem). If this is a dumb question, please forgive me because I don't know much of computers.

[JimH]

I don't think the bandwidth of the file could be a problem.  I'm not sure what was.  Something didn't handle an error correctly probably.  When a packet got dropped, some piece of software didn't react well.
