Bugzilla – Bug 9361
Extremely short tracks do not complete before the next track starts playing

This behavior first appeared in the 7.3 nightlies and is not present in the 7.2 release, so I'm assuming it's related to the new streaming code and should have the "new_streaming" keyword. The tracks I used for testing were the "Fingertips" tracks from Apollo 18 by They Might Be Giants, which are all only a few seconds long. On my system they were encoded Ogg Vorbis and transcoded to FLAC on the server, but I don't think the behavior is codec-related. The same behavior happened both when synchronized and unsynchronized, on an SB3 and a Transporter, wireless and wired. The behavior is that only the first few seconds of one track play before it skips ahead to the next track.
Using Rhapsody to play this exact band > album, I get a Time Out message when the "fingertip" tracks attempt to play. Happens each time from FT2 > FT3
Keith, can you confirm that this problem always (and only) happens if you are using transcoding? I can reproduce this using transcoding and I suspect that bug 9475 is the problem. I think that your problem is probably different to the Rhapsody problem reported by James
Verified fixed in the latest nightlies.
