Interesting. Yesterday, I thought that the stutter was fixed with the new drive cable, but I was rifleing (sp?) through the tracks rather than let them natually progress to the next track. Not sure if that made a differance, but while the problem seemed fixed yesterday, I did catch it happening today. It's certainly happening far less than it was, but I did catch it happen, at 12 seconds on the nose.

So browsing the forums, I figured I'd put the serial rate to 115200 (all of this has been happening in the docking station and in-car, didn't ever test on straight AC). I also put the "notify_suppress=1" in the config.ini. I havn't had the stutter come back, but I'm going to test for a few days and post again.

FWIW, with all the problems that I had with my Mk2a, I didn't have this one. It only popped up when I switched the drives over to the older Mk2.
