Why does MediaMonkey not play the whole song?

[eboyer93]

MediaMonkey does not play the whole song but skips over to the next when it reachs the first second of silence at the end of the song. Is there a way to stop it from doing this?

[Eyal]

Yes, set the Output plugin accordingly: Tools|Options|Player|Output plugins->MM Directsound output->Configure.

Ok Thanks.

[eboyer93]

Does it matter if I disable all the options except for hardware acceleration?

[Eyal]

These are only options. Matter of taste. You're the master!

Note that some options require stop & restart playing to take effect.

[eboyer93]

None of these settings will edit or do anything to my files. right?

Right. Plugins options only specify how MM should handle and redirect the sound to sound device(s).

[eboyer93]

sorry i am a little paranoid.

[Eyal]

Don't be afraid, it's only a computer. A machine, a big calculator without any real intelligence.
Computer is only doing what you tell him to do.
Like I said, you are the master.

I'm having a similar problem. Some songs will be playing fine and will then just skip in the middle to the next song. These are all FLAC files which play fine at home on my Sonos system, so I doubt it's the track itself. Any thoughts/suggestions would be appreciated.

Did you disable crossfading and silence removal? If so try switching output plugin or change the sound device used.

[pvpeacock]

Crossfade is off and I have tried changing output plugin, but to no avail. I don't know where to find silence removal or how to change the sound device. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

[Lowlander]

Tools > Options > Output Plug-ins, highlight the enabled output plugin and Click the Configure button.

Thanks, I tried turning off the silence removal and changing the sound device, but the song still skips at exactly 1:30 into it every time I play it. This only happens with a dozen or so songs, so I wonder if there's something wrong with the copy of the song I have on this computer. Hmmmmmm? Thanks.

[Lowlander]

You could try sending a copy of a song with this issue to support. Does this also happen when playback is stopped and you play one of these problem songs?
