Music stutters 2 seconds before each song ends while streaming

[jonathanrn]

There is a weird behavior on my 920 that has been bugging me more and more as time goes on. It seems to be only limited to when I'm streaming a Smart DJ mix, but about two seconds before each song ends, there a tiny stutter. Just a single stutter. It's predictable, and repeatable, and it totally takes me out of the moment. Now I'm anticipating it happening and it's ruining Xbox Music for me. Especially now that Pandora is out and there is no stuttering in that app. Anyone else having this problem?

Happens to me all the time. It seems like the next song always seems to be ready to play, so my guess is that it happens when it starts to buffer the next song.

Yea, same issue. Only when streaming, and yes it ruins the overall experience.

Same. The stutter is driving me crazy. Now that Spotify is available on WP8, I might go back to it unless MS releases a fix for Xbox Music.

More than likely this. I like this more compared to how my other WP's have handled streaming: completely stopping at the end of the song for five to ten seconds before starting up again.

Yes its way annoying! Been meaning to create a thread so glad you posted it. Hopefully there is a fix in the next update.

I don't think it bothers me that much. But i would really like to see the stutter be gone, AND have the next song get qued up and ready to play in an effort to decrease buffer times.

Looks like this has been fixed with the Amber update! Finally
