When I walk with the HDD100 I notice shock sensitivity.
Music is paused regularly during the second track after power-on and then every 6th/7th track.
It is only during the first minute of the track, after that it's stable.
Songs are sampled at 192 Kbps/CBR.

It looks like the memory is not preloaded during playback but is loaded again as soon as the last track in the 32 MB buffer has been played.

Is this unique to my HDD100 or a common problem?

i guess you've got the popular pause bug... unfortunately there's no fix or new firmware out by philips yet. apart from that i've got some problems with the shock resistance of my hdd100: when i walk, after about ten minutes, the music keeps stopping until i take the device out of my pocket so that it can load the rest of the track into its memory. kinda annoying...

This problem has been solved by installing HDDtool on the HDD100, deleting all MP3 files and installing them again via HDDtool.
DMM2.0 has been removed from my system.

it has nothing to do with HDDTOOL i think
it is mainly due to the preload of the files to its buffer
in most cases ,my MP3 SONGS ARE COMPACTED BY LAME
AND THEY ARE USUALLY 320Kb/S ,DURING EVERY SONG THERE WILL BE A VERY SHORT PAUSE, SOME TIMES U CAN NOT NOTICE THAT. BUT MOST CASES, WHEN U ARE SETTLED DOWN AND WANT TO LISTEN TO THE MUSIC FOR A PEASE, SO THE BUG GONNA BE VERY PROMINANT. BUT IT IS VERY COMMON AMONG HD DISK DRIVE MP3 PLAYERS.
REALLY HOPE THERE IS GONNA BE A NEW FIRMWARE TO SOLVE THIS GOD DAM*ED PROLEM.

i doubt their will be a new firmware released from philips, i was kinda hoping they would release a new firmware for the new hdd130(same as hdd120 but with 30gig hd) but i dont think that is evening being released now, unless anyone can correct me on that.
