I have a Neuros II with a custom upgraded 80 gig drive and I still get the intermittent dropouts playing q6 oggs over MyFi. I don't think that I have ever noticed it do this with q6 oggs over the headphones, but recently I have been listening to q3 ogg books-on-tape on headphones and have noticed occasional bloops during disk I/O where the playback will almost skip like a CD and replay the previous second worth of audio.
I'll try the "maintenance" and see if it gets any better. I have gotten used to the MyFi dropouts I think so I don't think I notice them as much anymore but they still do occur.

I occasionally get skips, but not very often, and usually traceable back to the individual track.
On the other hand, I have been getting a repeatable buffer error. (Using 2.26, not 2.28) Turn on the Neuros, on NeuroCast or Headphones, and last song finishes. The VERY next song, regardless of song, will play the first 5-6 seconds, stop, then I'll feel the HD spinning up to buffer the rest, and after a 2-3 second pause it will continue playing.
dbPowerAmp CD > Flac > Ogg Q6 (I use FLAC for files on my PC, and only make Oggs of things going on my Neuros.) |

It has been posted that ogg files encoded with the aoTuV encoders are less resource hungry on playback. You might want to pick that up at rarewares.org. You should be able to use it with dbpoweramp, or get the standalone oggdrop. THe last I knew, aoTuV also had the best bang/bitrate of the ogg encoders.

I have not experienced this... I generally listen to the NII twice a day for 1 1/2 hrs each time... ALL my music is OGG at quality 6. (I noticed that some of my tracks report problem when ripping them.)
I have noticed two or three very brief pauses in the past couple of weeks but not sure if it was a problem with the track I was listening to or the player... If I observe it again I will make a note of the song so I can listen to it for problems outside of the NII... |

Interesting thread. I have a NII with the old backpack. I encoded my oggs at 4.5 quality (with oggenc under cygwin and linux) and would have random skips, dropouts, songs ending before they should, etc. I attributed this to the old USB1 backpack. Recently I took advantage of the 80GB Neuros special. I put my original source files (at quality 9) onto the new Neuros and I had lots of problems. Re-converted them down to 4.5 and still had problems, just far fewer. I thought my decode/re-encode script was making botched oggs, until I copied a "skipping" file off the neuros and back on the PC- and it played fine. I re-ran my script at quality 3.5 and I haven't noticed any problems. Not sure if its something to do with oggenc, but that seems to have stopped the skipping for me so far. |
