Creative Zen Micro 5 sec. delay between songs?

Jun 15, 2005 3:22PM PDT

Hello (again...),

I've noticed a problem with my Creative Zen Micro since I recieved it at the end of April: when on shuffle mode, playing all tracks, if I hit the "Next track" button, the player stops playing music, and pretty much pauses for about 5 seconds (give or take 2 seconds I s'pose), then plays the next song.

It usually only occurs when I change songs before the song at hand really gets too far in; if I change tracks at a minute-thirty into the song, it works fine, but if I change 5 seconds in, it pauses for longer than it should.

I'm not sure if there's any way to alter this or deter it from doing such, or if it was just faulty from the factory (which would be bad news for me, seeing as my warranty is over). Any theories/solutions/comments are greatly appreciated, thanks!
