iPod nano and Altec Lansing inMotion im5, clicks between tracks?

When I'm using my iPod nano with the Altec Lansing inMotion im5 there are 'clicks' between the tracks. When I'm using my iPod headphone I don't hear these 'clicks'. What could be wrong?

iMac, Mac OS X (10.3.9), iPod nano 4GB

Welcome to Apple Discussions!

Before you/we begin troubleshooting, is there any way you could try the system out with another iPod and see if that iPod works with the speakers (telling us whether the issue is with the iPod or speakers).

I can try the system out with another iPod. Besides the clicks between the tracks when I use the speaker system, some tracks seems to end before the real end of the track when I use this system or my iPod nano dock. Could this be a problem caused by any iPod update or is this a technical problem with my iPod?

Is that just with the speakers or when using the iPod in general?

These could be software glitches we could try to correct, I just want to make sure it isn't the speakers.

It is with the speakers and the iPod dock over my audio amplifier.

I've been playing around with my iPod nano and the im5 speaker system. I guess that the clicks might be caused by a gap (longer than 5 seconds) between the songs. It would have been no problem when the iPod should have a crossfade playback like iTunes has. I haven't heard the clicks when I use the iPod dock. The one I heard was just a strange end of a song....sorry!
