I'm occasionally experiencing cut-off MP3's when I hear them for the first time in the car.
I believe this is actually a known problem with the current player software

As far as I know, the released 1.0x software has no problems with cutting off tracks. This is what would be considered a "show stopper", and I don't thing empeg/rio would publicly release software that had a problem like this

I think if he's getting cut off tracks, it's not the car player software that's at fault.
