I can usually get out of it if i click through a few files for a few seconds or if i shut it off and restart. chkdsk-ing the drive doesn't seem to help much, and besides a reformat I really don't know what else to do. Seems to happen intermittently and not very often at that, but it freaks me out when it does happensbecause I'll usually be in the middle of a nice quiet song and all of a sudden it sounds like someone grinding the needle into a vinyl album with the volume turned up full blast. I haven't experienced this problem with the OF, but then again, i don't use the OF that frequently. This has only been happening in the last few days too.

Funny because I have experienced the same problem with the latest build today a nice peaceful Enya song interrupted by a loud SCRRREEEEECH really FREAKED ME OUT what's the best way to fix this and is it known
