Why do my MP3s skip on my laptop?

[Viper Frag]

I recently bought a Dell I8000 1GHz with a Ultra ATA 48GB HD and 256MB of SDRAM and my mp3s skip a lot. Is there any way to fix this?

Thanks,
Viper-Frag

P.S. It's running Win2K Pro SP1

got a winmodem?

that fuks things up

 

[Viper Frag]

No, I don't have a winmodem. I have a Xircom 56K + 10/100Mbps NIC PCMCIA card Type III
I doubt that could be the cause of the problem.

I got the same machine, no problems here.

 

[Ladies Man]

what are you using to play the mp3s?

winamp? windows media player?

Why you keep crappin threads SuperSix? I've seen you do it in at least to so far. Sorry I can't help you viper.

Maybe you are moving the laptop while playing it? It's like playing the portable CD... j/k

Could it be the buffer size? Is there a way I could increase the buffer in winamp?

Are these MP3's bad or not....

???

 

[Redwingsguy]

Have you messed with winamp's input/output settings? Thats all I can think of right now.

PAULSON?! the real paulson? I guess it is real with ur rigs, what made you come back? And how come only 13 ppd? slowing down?

I'd say the chance of it being buffer size is pretty good.. Mess around with that and see if you can get anything to work better.
