Can David Brandon or all of us chip in and get the stadium a new audio player or something?

For anyone who attended, did you notice just how frequently the audio was getting stuck on tracks?  I'm just a caveman and haven't progressed much since CD days, but I don't think MP3 tracks get stuck that way-- or do they?-- but the CD player or whatever they were using was constantly getting jammed in the middle of songs.  At first, I thought this might be some fancy effects by Sir Mix-a-Lot or something, but... no, it wasn't, unless they were doing it for almost every track on purpose because all the kids are doing it. 

One of you techophiles will be better suited to prescribe a solution, but for an otherwise largely impeccable production of the most exciting event I've ever seen in person (including the Braylon game and the Virginia '95 game), the persistent audio glitch seemed weirdly amateurish.

My guess is they were playing the music on a computer which kept trying to go into standby mode.  My laptop has done this before when playing music.  I totally agree with the OP, national stage and this was a big derp so hopefully it wasn't televised.

I think, given a few weeks and some feedback, they will get it figured out.  Compared to a lot of stadiums I have visited, I thought the sound quality itself, outside the bugs, really was good,
