Default Zen recorded track problem
I am new to MP3 players having just bought a Zen 4 GIG.
I have filled it up with mostly music from my CD collection, It was noticed recently whilst it was playing background it occasionally ended a track early and the next track would start whilst the display was still showing the previous track details. This is a new player and it had been on for a couple of hours. I first thought overheating ,, maybe not! has anyone got an answer please

Welcome to ABI longshanks. I would first boot the Zen into Recovery Mode (See the Zen FAQ under the Troubleshooting section) and select a Cleanup from the menu. If that doesn't help improve the situation, I would consider reloading the firmware or upgrading to the latest version, if you haven't already.

Your suggestions carried out,no difference.
to elaborate more, the zen is fully loaded and I have created a couple of play lists of which one has 126 tracks, I find that whilst in Shuffle mode some of these tracks run into one another without a pause, some quite a few seconds before the track has ended, very visable on the display but not soundwise.
regards.

Did you boot into Recovery Mode and select the Reload Firmware option, connect to the computer, and then execute the latest firmware application to install? This will give you a fresh installation of the latest firmware and prevent any existing problem from carrying over from just a regular firmware upgrade; as mentioned in the Zen FAQ.
