Hi Major, They say that the lw player can be unreliable, I personally haven't had a prob with it, it plays fine for me and with WMP, I do get problems with that, always comming up with file error, (could be a codec thing). So I installed itunes, its very good, and I have no probs with it (its a free dl)..
I have also read that sometimes the some songs haven't been ripped properly which can cause them not to play well....
