Describe the issue

Hi,
I have a very very strange problem. But reproducible. It happens every time I do it:
I have ripped many CDs. One song. Only one is not possible to play on Roon correctly. It "hooks". When you listen to it, it sounds a bit like in the old times when you were playing Vinyl on a record player and the needle jumps a bit. A fraction of a second of the music was missing.
And this is the interesting part: I can play the same file with a simple Windows Media Player and the song sounds perfect.
What does Roon to this song?? Have you an idea. I would like to send you the file so you can find out.

Describe your network setup

I have my music files and the Roon server on a Synology NAS server. My amplifier is connected via cable with the NAS. My speakers are connected via cables. My router is a Fritzbox. But all this I believe should not play a role because it is only this one song which is not played correctly.
My CDs are saved sometimes as .mp3 and sometimes as .flac (I am on my way to move all to .flac). The song I am talking about I used in .mp3 and .flac as well. The story is the same. On Roon the song hooks, on CD-player or on Windows Media Player all is correct. To play it on the Windows Media Player I use the exact same file reading it from the NAS server via Wifi. But the song plays correctly.
I could upload only the .mp3 file as the .flac was too big for this dialog. Maybe you can find the same phenomen. The hook occurs at seconds 5 and 12 and on and on at other positions.

I could solve the problem on my own. I ripped the CD again, using another CD-drive. And, surprise, now the song plays perfectly. Sorry to have listed this problem at all…
