It's Back AGAIN !!

DLZ, I am not sure whether it is the media player. I have a lot of songs that I ripped directly from the CD's and here and there are songs that are 'hoppy' - meaning they skip a little or 'moan'. If you have the problem with one song only I would suggest you rerecord it. It could be also a weakness of the originating media like a bit loss.
There are some fancy music editing programs with which you might be able to copy and fix it. I do not have one on hand but I have one on my PC in Germany. It's called "Magix Music Cleaning Lab". This is the US website:
DLZ, did you try what Lighthouse suggested? Try e.g. VLC
DLZ, I just saw this in an unrelated search from someone who had music recorded on an USB flash drive:
" I have noticed that I get an occasional blip in the music, but it is RARE"
This is only to show you that electronically recorded devices may have little faults and skips. It may not directly relate to your problem but it shows that NOTHING IS PERFECT.
Here is something else you may want to do. Do a check ONLY first, just to see whether you have any bad sectors. Then you can always go back and fix them.
Check your hard disk for errors
You can help solve some computer problems and improve the performance of your computer by making sure that your hard disk has no errors.
1. Click to open Computer.
2. Right-click the hard disk drive that you want to check, and then click Properties.
3. Click the Tools tab, and then, under Error-checking, click Check Now. If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
To automatically repair problems with files and folders that the scan detects, select Automatically fix file system errors. Otherwise, the disk check will simply report problems but not fix them.
To perform a thorough disk check, select Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors. This scan attempts to find and repair physical errors on the hard disk itself, and it can take much longer to complete.
To check for both file errors and physical errors, select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors.
4. Click Start.
Depending upon the size of your hard disk, this may take several minutes. For best results, don't use your computer for any other tasks while it's checking for errors.
Note
• If you select Automatically fix file system errors for a disk that is in use (for example, the partition that contains Windows), you'll be prompted you to reschedule the disk check for the next time you restart your computer
