Okay, everybody, here's what I know so far:

*This problem is reproducible much the same as reported here on my machine, which also is running XP SP3.

*I have discovered through trial and error with the cmd prompt that the attribute for the folder NAME and not the folder itself is what really reverts.

*BUT the biggest discover has come from copying this folder to new smaller folders that contain ten or twenty songs each. That narrowed things down and I started to notice a pattern of two different events. Setting my jukebox to play only 2 bars of Preview helped speed the process up a bit.

In the first of the smaller folders, the Jukebox would cause the No Responding from BB while the music still keeps on playing at the same songfile every time.

So I created another subfolder named, "Bad Songs" and began removing each of those. No small feat as foxylady's folder as sent contained about 185 files. Creting the smaller subsets of song lists in subfolders at least let me get to the point where I can play all the remaining songs in some of those subfolders in the Jukebox mode with no freezing. Okay, as I suspected earlier in this thread, the problem then appears to be caused by corrupted songfiles. Just to be sure, I spent a little bit of time running the Jukebox both on my own custom folders and on a pgmusic demo folder or two, same 2-bar preview parameters and not one single freeze.

**One thing I found out is that in some cases, the song that is playing when the freeze occurs is the corrupt file. -- BUT there were a few cses where the previous songfile to play was the one causing the same problem as well.

*Where I'm at right now:

I now can play all of foxylady's remaining songs from the subfolders just fine.

But when I thought all was well and tried to copy and paste all those remaining songs into one new folder, there are occasional freezes still happening.

Looking into that.

As of right now, I've isolated 21 corrupted songfiles.

Trying to save as much of foxylady's work as I can,
