Motorola Milestone skipping on music playback, perfect for Billy Joel's 'Movin' Out'

http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2009/12/moto-milestone-sm.jpg (https://supportforums.motorola.com/thread/20694?start=75&tstart=0)For a device with as much superphone street cred as the Milestone (http://www.engadgetmobile.com/tag/milestone,motorola), you'd think a basic task like listening to music through the headphone jack would be a cakewalk. No problems, right? So straightforward, really, that it's not even worth testing thoroughly -- and therein lies the problem, it seems. Milestone owners on both sides of the pond are reporting en masse that music playback occasionally skips over the jack -- though stereo Bluetooth, ironically a more CPU-taxing operation, seems to be fine. For many owners, particularly those who don't carry a separate PMP, that can totally be a deal-breaker. It's said you can work around the issue by putting the phone into airplane mode, which effectively makes it a dedicated PMP anyhow -- not an optimal solution, right? Yeah, Moto, this seriously isn't shaping up to be your week (http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/26/motorola-cliqs-falling-victim-to-latest-firmware/), so let's just make sure you earn some brownie points with awesome customer service through this rough patch.
