In a possibly related instance ...

I am going through PaulG's MP3 collection, picking out those for CDs that we have in common (why rip twice, right?). So I'm on the B's thus far, and I've got P.D.Q. Back on there.

I'm driving around, playing the first track off "On the Air" and I park the car, go into a store, come back, turn on the car, and ... the track comes back on, only about four minutes or so earlier, and with a way-off elapsed time on the display.

Usually I don't notice this with the VBRs with the elapsed time. I usually only notice that the total time is off, and this is for the Rio/empeg only (thus far).

I forward back to the spot I was at when I shut the car off and the display now reads at 30 minutes or so ... only I'm really about ten minutes into the track.

Known issue, FITNR, is it just me, etc., anyone?
