I'm using 4-STABLE, xmms 1.2.1 (which is an improvement over 1.0.1(?) for skipping BTW) and UW SCSI disks. I'm listening to an mp3 and also re-building the locate(1) database (a very disk intensive activity) and I haven't heard it skip yet. Curiously scrolling up and down a big web page in Netscape is almost guaranteed to make it skip (although nothing excessive). IDE disks, especially without UDMA, use a lot of CPU resources so I guess this could explain it. > the only one I can get to play smoothly is kmp3, by turning > the buffer up to max.
