Good morning folks.

I have noticed the same thing, jumping back, that is, but only with audible 
mp3 adapted files. The jump back is only short, about a sentence or two. I 
checked to see if this occurs at random or if it is linked to something in 
the file. When going back for another run, the repetition reoccurs, 
suggesting that either the audible people had a problem when re-encoding the 
file or that the file transfer software generates the anomaly.
