SYMPTOMS
In Windows Media Player, when you play an .asx playlist, if there is a .wsx file in the playlist that is followed by a live station feed, the live station feed may be partially or fully skipped.



CAUSE
This problem occurs if Windows Media Player caches the live station, and then it detects an &quot;End of File&quot;. If this occurs, the live station may not play, depending on the duration of playlist.



WORKAROUND
To prevent this problem, do not set a live station feed to play after a .wsx file.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
