Hello, knob!

Thanks for replying so quickly, I wasn't expecting such a quick reply.

Yes, this model is a touchscreen, and it looks exactly like the one in the post you linked to (though I'm finding that that doesn't guarantee anything, actually). The mp3s do have album art, and the player I am using, Winamp, includes ID3v2 in almost all of the songs.

I'm not sure if that would be causing the skipping and low quality, though, since some of the songs work perfectly, but others skip in the first few seconds, or have a "blippy" noise in the first few seconds, sometimes just a few skips, but sometimes so bad you don't even want to listen to the song. It may be the problem, but it seems odd, since they almost all have artwork and ID3v2.
I had a theory that low-bitrate songs weren't working, since my fiancee had thrown on a few songs that were 64kbit/s and other ridiculously low bitrates, so I tried loading it up with songs that were 128 kbit/s and better, but still that didn't work.
Then, after I'd plugged and unplugged the player a few times, Windows started reporting, "The file or directory G:\whatever song is corrupt and unreadable. Please run the chkdsk utility."
But.... the song would still play perfectly (on the player, that is).
After that particular message came on, I could no longer get Winamp to play the songs off of the Rockchip, it would just keep skipping from song to song to song.

It seems to me that there must be some dire failure in the player itself, so I think I'll try to get my money back, and preferably a replacement, since this was a gift for my fiancee.

I will go through and pick songs with no artwork and only ID3v1, and see if that changes anything, thank you for the suggestion! I'll post back if it changes anything.

If you have any other suggestions, I'd appreciate it a lot, and be more than willing to give it a try, but I'm beginning to feel the fool for wasting my time (and yours).

Thanks a lot! Your help is the only help I've been able to get!
