Yeah I have the same thing, and I don't remember it happening when I only had one drive. When I added my second HD, I noticed that there is sometimes a couple seconds when skipping. I also agree that further skips are instantaneous, it seems that there's just a delay associated with spinning up the drive.

I am sincerely hoping that truly gapless playback makes it into an upcoming release. Listening to full albums without gapless playback is the one thing that a CD still has over the Empeg.
