Sorry I've been in WV jumping off of a bridge. =P
So I tried to install the software on my desktop PC and it seems to have solved most of my annoyances. The skipping is gone, I haven't tried to pause yet, that will be tested tonight. One annoyance is the display on the PWD and the iDevice software never update when it goes to the next track. It will display the first track I started in the que but the timer just keeps ticking past the end of the track.
