Slowing is often very much the problem with wireless issues. First, the wireless connection will commonly be renegotiated to a slower speed when the signal is weak or interference is encountered. Second, there's a the relationship between wireless network throughput over some time period and its relationship with the buffer size on the player. You might encounter enough interference to completely shut down the network connection, allowing the buffer to run out, then it may clear for a moment, then back again and so on. Whether you see dropouts and a 'rebuffering' message will depend mostly on whether the network can keep the buffer filled just enough to avoid the dropouts. That's why streaming MP3 instead of FLAC will often gain you continuous playback - the same buffer that holds 30 seconds of FLAC audio might hold 2 minutes of MP3 audio. -- JJZolx Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=78905
