I just grabbed that file and added it to the player (running Beta7 code). It sounds fine on my player.

If you heard the crackles and distortion on Beta3 (of the PLAYER software) then it's a known bug that's fixed in Beta7. Upgrade to Beta7 and all will be well.

If you had the crackes and distortion on beta7, and you've checked your EQ/loudness to make sure they're not over-tweaked, then report it in bug reports.
