I don't believe so. I believe Dell sells an OS flash update to Windows
Mobile 2003, that would get you WMP 9, but no guarantee that the same issue
doesn't affect WMP 9. If I get around to it later I'll try and check, since
I have WMP9 on my ipaq.

Update - the same thing does not seem to happen with WMP 9 on my ipaq FWIW.
Of course that's different hardware and a different file, so your mileage
may vary. I tested a 14:47 long, 128kbit CBR mp3, paused at around 12:30 for
30 secs, then resumed. Tested from main memory and a CF card.

Thanks for checking that. I didn't think the Axim X5 was compatible with
Windows Mobile 2003. I'll do some checking.
