Constantly. Every time the drop out/skipping occurs, I hear the empeg access the disk. However, every time it accesses the disk does not cause it to skip. This only happens with WAV files, and unfortunately, I have a bunch of WAV files I like to listen to, and having it skip all the time is rather annoying.

I reported this problem last year. The problem is definitely not as bad as it used to be, where it would skip every time it accesses the disk. But it still skips and pops and it sounds pretty bad when it does.

I don't think people are regularly reporting this bug because hardly anyone has WAV files on their empegs.

The easiest way to reproduce this is to copy an entire album in WAV format, and listen to it end to end. Lots of skipping.
