New U2 album crashing Media Player and iTunes at the same spot...

I could use a little help here.

I picked up the new U2 album last night and began to listen to it at home. On track 3 ("Sometimes you can't make it on your own") at the 3:05 mark, Media Player stops playing and crashes. I close and reboot. It crashes at the same spot. I skip to the 3:06 mark - and it plays just fine. I go back to 3:03 and it crashes again at 3:05.

I try iTunes, with the exact same results.

I take the disc back to the store and get a new copy - obviously mine is bogus, right?

The new disc has the exact same problem. I have since found two other places it crashes, in two other songs.

The odd part is that the tracks play just fine on my car CD player, and on my laptop for work - so I figure it can't be the disc. But I have no freaking idea why it crashes at the same spots every time.

My PC is using Media Player 10, while my laptop has Media Player 9. Is anyone aware of any issues with MP10 like this? Any ideas WTF is going on?

The album, what I can hear of it, is great, BTW.

My CD works just fine. Blame yourself and the way you run your computer!

Sorry to tic people off with this - I've never run into something like this before. I take pretty good care of my machine.

I'm just at a complete loss as to what is causing this to happen.
