Does WMP still skip when you have mort associated??

saridnour-- Yes, I hadn't noticed but you are right. Mort will play,pause,next track, previous track from the headset. Great!

Here's what I've found out about the skipping:

1. (With BitPool = 48, which has been my "default" for a long time) WMP skips badly in the first 20 sec when I start play from the device. No Voice Command involved. (I saw no reason to experiment with VC and WMP since I've done that so many (many!) times in the past... lots of skipping!)

2. Mort does not skip (even with BitPool = 80) when I start play from the device OR when I start play with Voice Command by using #5 button. (In the latter case, the actual command is issued through the headset, it's just that I don't initiate VC with the headset button.)

3. On the other hand, if I initiate VC at the headset button and issue the command "play X", then there are always two short skips between 6 sec and 8 secs into play.

I conclude that this skipping in Mort has a different cause from the skipping we hear in WMP. The skipping in Mort is a function of my headset VC activation button. In many other regards Mort is the perfect player. This skipping doesn't happen with TCPMP or PocketPlayer. Maybe it's related somehow to ACVR?

Another problem (that might actually affect other people) is that I cannot get Mort to play pls streams from Orb. Mort opens, say it's connecting, it displays the song title, but then it stops. Mort also won't play asx streams from Orb.
