Even Weirder:

Power off
Reboot
Play MP3
WM 60000
stop
play MP3
WM A410
Stop
change anti skip
play MP3
WM = approx A410 + ( antiskip * F80 )

stop
Power off
Reboot
Play MP3
WM 60000
stop
play MP3
WM A410

It does not appear to be calculating the watermark on the first play.
It does not appear to read the Anti skip value unless you change it.
