yes.. sounds like you have a corrupt file issue.
If you have a gig tonight and don't have time to build the overviews for all of your tracks than just highlight the tracks you want to play and drag and drop them on the overview builder.
I would definitely do that before taking it out to a show.
No overviews built in most cases = frustration.

unplug your box and hit the build overviews button on the left hand side of the screen

overviews are not the problem they are the solution, the problem is corrupt files. Building overviews will help you weed out the corrupt files
