I've found that comes from overly high CPU usage. In MS-DOS 7.x with MPX-Play or XTC-Player, I don't have those problems. [and they support keyboard/keypad commands, configurable]

Pel'el: while it's not the BEST choice, Win98 runs great on them, I can play Winamp, with visualizations with no skipping, etc. (Doesn't have native 8139C support, however)

To buy: the audio header cable (if you want to play music)
