OK... maybey an obvious question:

Is you music organized and tagged with arist info, album and album artwork?

If so, have you gone to WM Player and updated your library? (under the MENU tab list on the lower right side).

If I remember correctly, the HTC music tab doesn't "see" files very well or album artwork etc. until you add them to your Windows Media Player library.

The delay could be caused by the HTC player attempting to gather that info EVEY time you select a track to play.

Again though, I haven't experienced this in a long time, since I update the WMPlayer library every time I add or delete music.

Give it a shot and report back.

Good luck.
