My suggestion would definitely be to move up to D8.5. Many bugs were
fixed from 7.02 and 8, and more were fixed in D8.5. If you are not
using the 3D code in your project you won't be impacted by it being
there. The media loading problem (which to the user appears to be a
problem with sound) was the thing that convinced us to do the move
from D8 to D8.5.
The problem is that if you are playing a sound, and you do something
which causes Director to load a large amount of assets (e.g., going
to a frame that has many high bit depth graphics on it), sound will
stutter, or stop while loading these other assets. The problem has
been fixed in 8.5
