I dont think this is a normal issue. During the playback of songs, the song pauses for like a mili mili second. If i play the same song with my laptop, and with any 2 randomly selected computers, because of those pauses or breaks whatever you might want to call them, the end result is that the song on my laptop ends 5 seconds after the song ended on those 2 computers. The song dosent 'pause' it just slows or something i dont know how to explain it, it dosent occur once during playback it keeps occurring. Im using Windows XP Service Pack 3, Dell vostro 1510 laptop, 2.00 GHz, 2.00 GB ram, if you require any other info ill be more than grateful to provide it. Please solve my problem, thank you
