i had an interesting RLD the other day. i went to playlist options, and then 'create playlist' for
the root dir, and it was going fine until it hit 887, where it froze. the music continued playing
until what it had in ram, but the create screen was stuck. after the music stopped i had to reset.

has anyone ever had an RLD while plugged in? i've never seen it happen. my theory is that the HD
can't get enough power for some reason or another, and freezes. when and why it happens though, i
have no idea. i've seen it happen at battery percents from anywhere between 100 and 7, while
sitting on a table, and while walking home. my anti-skip buffer (mp3 players can skip??) has
always been a 7s
