Thanks for the info and hint!!

It seems to sometimes hang in the middle of different songs, I have always when playing mp3 files. I haven't really noticed any one particular file that causes problems. I do listen to some internet streams, but haven't noticed anything.

Could it have something to do with the sound module? It sometimes makes a quiet "click" sound when it hangs, other times it just stops.
