<div>H'mm. I've also tried reinstalling from
the repository, using Synaptic, and it doesn't make any
difference, and looking at it, the thing in the repository is also
2.98. But if I was to download 2.99 from the FTP page you
indicated, wouldn't I have to do all the configuration manually?
That would be totally beyond me. By the way, we shouldn't be top
posting like this. It forces people to read the conversation from
bottom to top as well as from top to bottom.<div><div class="h5"><br>

<div>According to that ftp page, 2.99 was the last version
they made before they stopped, evidently imagining it
was as perfect as it could ever be. I assume that's what
I've got, because I assume that's what's delivered in
the complete Ubuntu 13.04 64-bit ISO, which is what I
have installed.

That sounds like your media is on a
mounted / removable device which has since
gone away / been unmounted? The skipping
through tracks is often when it says "ok,
what track is next, lets play it, oh, it's
gone, ok, next track.. " etc.<br>

I don't mean it looks for them one after
another in rapid succession and doesn't find
them; I mean it literally skips through each
track, jumping e.g. thirty seconds at a time.
But this is just the commonest immediate
symptom of a general haywireness that sets in
if it has been left running but idle for more
than a few minutes. By the way, AFAIK, I only
have this on one of my three machines, but
they are all identically set up, with
completely fresh installs of 13.04 and then
all files, including the 1850+ albums,
reloaded from an external hard drive. This
takes an hour or two for each fresh install,
but it gives me maximum free space, so I do it
happily, rather than install the new versions
keeping the old files and settings.
