That was very strange. Especially since I now has uploaded the same file I uploaded the first time and the glitches seems to be gone. I don't think I've ever experienced that a upload have failed in such a minute way before !! I didn't detect any glitches after the new upload, but do tell me if anyone else hears any (except for the glitches in the playing & singing of course, those I hear clearly enough ;D)

Sounds glitch-free to me now. I downloaded the new file and compared it to the old one. They're exactly the same size, but the 4,614th byte was dropped in the old (glitchy) file, causing the subsequent bytes to be out of sync. I'm surprised it played at all. I guess the MP3 format is able to somehow compensate for that to some degree.

So I guess the server or some software involved in the upload process is not handling errors properly. Instead of aborting the upload with an error message, it just drops the byte and carries on with the upload. Fortunately, it doesn't seem to happen very often so I don't think it's a big problem.

The moral of the story: If anyone hears glitches in their song posts they should try uploading the file again.
