Sansa Clip Zip has big problems with Lossless files. BIG.

1) Flacs skips randomly, at every encoding level (5 or 8 it's the same) and it's impossible to reproduce this issue when I want. It skips to the next track randomly
2) Ape files stops to reproducing and makes a really big noise, this after 30 sec. or 3 min… or nothing at all.
3) Wavpack files, sometimes, stucks for 0.5 seconds and then, it continues to play. It happens to Fast encoding, or Normal encoding, it's the same.
4) AAC files make little noises and, sometimes, crash Rockbox.

Flac and APE problems, I'm sure, occurs from ages, I bought Clip Zip months ago and these problem occurred for every build and ofr every Rockbox release.

I don't think that my player's broken. These problems were previously posted by other people.

I think that the testing of builds were made too hastily, there are too many problems with lossless files. I can understand APE that requires an expensive decoding, but FLAC files couldn't have these problems :(
