Problem with gaps in music?

Hey folks. I'm running 0.11.0 of the PSP port on my 3.71 M33-3 installed PSP. Now while I quite like pretty much everything else, I've noticed that when streaming CD-audio music (I'm using MP3s) there's always a repeated noticeable audio glitch/gap every couple of seconds or so as the track streams off the stick. Is this natural? Are memory sticks really that slow to use?

My memory stick is currently using the FAT filesystem (after being formatted through the PSP). Is using FAT32 the answer you think?

This is a known problem when using MP3 for CD audio tracks on PSP, you should use Ogg Vorbis instead.

I see! Now see, I originally thought the PSP port didn't support Ogg, but it turns out that the "Tremor" mentioned in the About box is related to Vorbis after all.

Still, I might as well make it clear that I had been using the MP3 format for CD tracks and compressed data as it would ideally make it compatible with all platforms (Dreamcast and DS don't support Ogg Vorbis, for example).
