I think this may be softare related. Near as I can figure, the 'click' sound when you turn a page is interfering with the music playing. If iRex would give us the option to disable the click, without disabling sound, it might fix the problem.

Either that, or it's a hardware issue. Perhaps the iLiad's cpu is spiking when flipping pages, and momentarily slowing down the mp3 player. I can't be 100% sure what it is.

I'd also like to know why the iLiad doesn't seem to care what the sound is set at in mpd. Perhaps this isn't supported by the internal sound system (since by default, it only handles the click).

Maybe an iRex dev can help us out...
