Play...Stop...Play .....Stop

Occasionally my iphone 3G stops a song while in play when using earbuds or portable speaker ... sometimes it will occur once during the song...other times it can happen up to 10 times.

So aggrevating! Does anyone have this problem? If so.... any remedies?

Thanks so much! User uploaded file

I just reinstalled the whole software yesterday and now I got the same problem:
iPod randomly stops playing while plugged to my car by a speaker cable.

In another discussion board I found a thread with the same thing. One guy assumed that it might have something to do with the iPhone switching from one base station (cell) to another.

That might really be a cause as it happened while driving my car. It doesn't do it when I'm at home.

Any ideas if there's a correlation between the phone changing cells and the iPod stopping playing?

Cheers,
Sascha
