There is a weird glitch I've noticed when playing large MP3 files through the Files app on my iOS devices and I was wondering if anyone else had this issue as well.
Firstly, I should say that I've only noticed it with some large MP3 files like audiobooks, I'm talking about files which are over three hours long.
What happens is that when you first start playing the file, it doesn't matter what position in the track I go to, I get these weird audio glitches, it's difficult to describe but often the repeated words or words are skipped out completely and there is a old sound as well.
I know there is no problem with the audio itself, and it's happened on multiple devices what happens is that when i first start playing the file, it doesn't matter what position in the track I go to, I get these weird audio glitches, it's difficult to describe but often there are repeated words or words are skipped out completely and there is an odd sound as well.

The strange thing is that it's very constant, about every five seconds and stops exactly after 10 minutes and the file then plays normally.
I was just wondering if anyone else experienced this and what do you think it might be.

Not too purprising
I can’t speak for the Files app, because I haven’t used it, but Apple’s audio player is notorious for having difficulties with files larger than a certain size. I remember encountering it some years ago with files I downloaded from Audible, back when I was using iTunes to play them instead of Audible’s own app. I think I had to download a lower quality version of the audiobook before I could play it successfully, but it was long enough ago that I don’t remember exactly what it was I ended up doing.
