music player captivate

I have the Samsung Captivate Glide and have been using the stock music player.  A few days ago, it started "skipping".  Every song plays just a few bars and then repeats.  It does this in all modes, on all songs, on all play lists.  Up until a few days ago it worked fine.  I have removed the battery and this did not resolve the problem.  Anyone have any suggestions? 

I am thinking of removing the SD card and then deleting the music app and reloading it...or maybe there is a better music app out there to use?  any advice is appreciated.
