songs skip

I just transfered my songs from my old XP machine to my new Vista machine.
When playing the songs from my library, every song skips near the end of the
song. This is all legal music that I copied from my CDs. Any suggestions?
I have tried closing all other programs when playing, no difference. I am
using the windows media player and have checked for updates. The songs are
in .wma format.

RIP the CDs with WMP in Vista...
if you still have the same problem?

I had the same problem. I did away with my "skins" and the problem went
away. Clear sound now.

I haven't tried using any skins yet, but will keep that in mind when I rip
them again.
Thanks

No, I ripped them on my XP machine. Come to find out, the ones I ripped to
MP3 have the same problem. I used Intellimover to transfer my stuff, and on
the whole. it worked good. I have been told though, that moving them high
speed can corrupt the MP3s and WMVs - which can cause the "skip".
So it looks like I rip them again (which should work) or I have backup
copies on my external backup drive that I may use to copy them again.

Thanks for your reply.

Hi,
Sorry I am not going to be of much help, but I have exactly the same
problem. I have recently purchased a new Dell supported by Vista. Any CD I
rip to my Window Media Player have a kind of defect, at about 10-15 seconds
before the end of each song, it skips for 2-3 seconds, I have tried
everything I could think of, including delete and rip again with highest
quality, but no luck.
If you managed to solve this problem, could you let me know how ? Equally if
I do find a solution, I will let you know.

After reading your reply, I tried ripping a cd, using the default wma@128. I
am listening to it now and the songs seems ok, no skipping. I will try it
later making MP3s, which is what I prefer. I will let you know how it goes.
BTW, I am using a new DELL also.

What I did find out is after ripping a CD, if you add it to your playlist,
and play it, it will "skip". If you go to your Music folder, double click on
the same song, it will play just fine.

Hey Microsoft, explain this..At least add it to your list of things to fix.

Mike (above) said that he removed his skins and they played fine. I am not
using skins or visulizations, or any addons yet.

Have you checked for updated drivers from Dell? I thought this was a known
problem with the Sigmatel(?) sound card drivers that they're shipping... ?

THANKS. I went to your site and "removed All Enhancements", as you
suggested. The songs are playing fine now.
