MP3 music skips/jumps

[fabiagn]

Anyone else having problems playing MP3 files with them skipping etc stuttering. it stays on the track ok its just the music will jump 1 sec fwd or back on regular intervals. Sounds like a damaged CD from years ago. It happens randomly on any MP3 file (the files work on all my other devices and Fabia Bolero OK). Tried using SD card and a USB stick, same result. Format is fat32 and size is only 16GB.

Not sure what else to try?

cheers

Sorry I am unable to help with the issue but it may help others to help you if you list what head unit / stereo set up you have i.e. Amundsen or Columbus.

sorry, its the Amundsen

I have the Bolero unit and it plays all my MP3 files just fine so may be a faulty unit. My format is same and a 32GB SD card.

I have an Amundsen unit and use MP3 and MP4 files and it works fine. 32GB SD card although with only about 6 albums on it so far.  If the SD card and USB drive work OK in your Fabia, I would go with a faulty unit

I have exactly the same problem with my Octavia Combi but it happens only at the beginning of the track. Did you find a solution?

you need to re-encode your mp3's to CBR(constant bit rate), do not use VBR or ABR

I only use CBR MP3 files.

Mine jumps to the start of one particular album, when I switch on. All the time I am driving, and picked an album, all works well, smoothly starting the next album in order. Turn off, come back, and it has jumped to the start of that particular album. First world problem, I know, but damned annoying.
