Music skips while running

[kncmeehan]

New user here:  Issue while running the music on Versa just skips from song to next song?  What is the fix for stopping this from happening?

It's possible the song file was corrupted during transfer so you could delete them from the watch and try transferring them over again and see it it works. Also check to see if the original file it ok as well it may also not be encoded correctly or in a format the versa may not recognize (for example MP4 instead of MP3 this is just an example only and to my knowledge mp4 audio should be fine)

So the file only gets corrupted when running and not when stationary? I don't think so.

I am an embedded software engineer. I know how this works. As a person starts to run, other services increase the sampling rate, which causes the microprocessor to be overwhelmed when playing music. 

I would  settle for a downgrade in the playback quality, but please make the skipping stop. It becomes useless.

@MiguelSilgueroI read his question as being that "When running(playing) the music on the Versa the music skips" not "When out running, the music skips"  just my take on what he asked, hence why I suggested the music files may have been corrupted when copied over.
