superpin, apart from this bug:
http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=4418

i was not able to find a similar bug in bugzilla. not surprising tho,
because diagnosing a sporadic and non-reproduceable problem like this
is a PITA. ;-) i work in IT, and i run as fast as i can whenever i come
across problems like these.

today i have some time in the homeoffice tho, so i can do some serious
diagnostics.

here is what i will try next:
-> as mark suggested, i will transcode vorbis to mp3 and see if the
problm goes away.
if it doesnt -> not a vorbis problem, more likely a problem with the
ogg container format not being handled properly by SS, no?
if it does:
-> i will try homogeneous playlists consisting entirely of vorbis or
mp3 tracks.

ps. as i am typing this, it happened again. :-( SB just changed the
"now playing" screen to another track (new track is displaying in now
playing, but the old one is still playing). and sure enough, at the end
of the current track, the SBs stop.

new data:
-> rebooted the SBs, resumed playing at the track before the stop.
played no problem this time.
-> the progress indicator behaved strangely. it displayed the total
time of the track in "now playing", but it stopped at the precise total
time of the track that was previously playing. complicated - let me try
to explain:

DISPLAY:
now playing: (40 of 765) (**********__________)-3:46
8. the night before - Dessous - gamat 3000

alternating to played time gives me:
now playing: (40 of 765) (**********__________)4:21
8. the night before - Dessous - gamat 3000

alternating to buffer fullness gives me:
now playing: (40 of 765) (********************)100%
8. the night before - Dessous - gamat 3000

it stopped at precisely the total runtime of the *previous* track being
played, which was:
Il Cherchio Rosso - Nicola Conte - Bossa Per Due with 4.21 mins playing
time...!?

weird: this time, they didnt skip a track, but just went on to the next
one in the playlist.
