OK, i see what you are saying. I get a clock when I go through like that. The reason I didn't think it was the clock (even though the mode is called clock) is that it is not in AM/PM format and when you pause the player, the time stops.
Most of my files are VBR made in Music Match and the time jumps like crazy. This is why when taking the player out of pause, i didn't think the clock jumping a few seconds was odd. I though it was just some other way of calculating where you were in the song/playlist/player.
Also, I may have been confused by photos of people using the clock overlay hack on 2.0 (i think someone posted a pic with the clock in the lower left). Now the issue is over AM/PM which I assume is a known bug since I cannot get it go to 12 hour format.
Thanks for your help. I feel kind-of dumb.
