Playing of a song skips (or stops) for a short moment after starting a song. This happens after I start playing a song and after playing the next song in the playlist.

After playing around with the settings, I\'ve found out that this behavior disappears when I change the \'default size for cover previews\' to 100 (used to be 150).

So I guess the playing-process is disturbed by the scaling-process resulting in skipping at the beginning of a song. This may not be a problem on computers with fast CPU\'s. I have a Duron 1Ghz.

Is it possible to give the scaling-process a lower priority so that it would not disturb the playing-process?

I've run into the same sort of problem with amarok on ubuntu breezy running on a 1gHz P3.  Changing the cover preview didn't work for me, but turning off crossfading seems to have done the job.

I too have this same issue. My crossfade is turned on, default size for cover preview was already set to 100 px.
I'm running SuSE 9.3 Pro with amaroK 1.4-beta 3 (April 13 2006 build date). Running on the xine engine version 1, framework version 20.

I'll try stopping the crossfade and will repost if that worked.

Same here. Stopped fading. I'll report if it works.

It looks like stopping fading worked. Now it doesnt skip anymore.

I've been waiting a few days (ok, weeks) and killing the crossfade does indeed fix this issue.

Hi:

I am experiencing the same problem with crossfade of 1000ms - sometimes one song will play for like a 0.5-2 seconds, then suddenly skip to the next song.  If I click "previous track", the skipped song will play fine.  Is anyone looking into this?

Background:
Ubuntu 7.04 (using KDE desktop instead of Gnome)
Amarok 1.4.6
Crossfade of 1000ms; No fadeout; ModeBar plugin

Cheers,
