Just for the record - I've never seen this problem either, so I suspect a state problem too. I'm still on b7 at the moment, and hijack 137 (I know, I know - get with the program)

Some state info that may help debug: I typically run Vis: on, Info:Transient (yeah, no problems for ME with b11 ;-). I frequently randomize from root with occasional inserted list or song. I use the flat eq setting #1 mostly.

Could it be encoding-specific? How do you rip the MP3's - anything there, maybe?
