I just had this problem.

Interestingly, it has nothing to do with the time code. This is on a file with correct time code and correct VBR headers that has played fine on my unit in the past.

Also, Synergy sent me the "bad" BMG file that he was having trouble with, and it played fine on my player.

I think the act of re-uploading the file corrected some of the metadata related to the file and I think that's what fixed it.

In my case, the file was Paula Cole's "I Believe in Love". I know the file is fine, it's played fine for a long time in this player. I'm grabbing the file directly off of the player with EmpegTaxi, and I'm going to replace it in the player without changing it and see if it fixes the problem.
