As expected, this AM when I booted my machine (Squeezebox did not need
a reboot this time) I played a song. The song plays for 5 seconds and
then stops for 5 seconds. It does this for a LONG time. The song does
not continue to progress when it is silent, it literally stops and then
5 seconds later picks back up.
Smells like an external factor -- either poor network performance or a
resource-starved machine.
I went to debugging (slimserver is VERY slow to respond) and picked out
Source (Is that the right one"?
Slimserver is slow to respond to the web interface? That sounds like
starved machine, though it's possible that you're browsing over the same
dodgy wireless network that's killing your songs...
Here is what I got...

I saw that you're running on Windows... is the machine clean? What does
taskmgr show you for CPU and pagefile usage? Is the disk light on
steadily? Slimserver's disk activity when not rescanning is a tap on the
disk every two or three seconds; more than that probably indicates
memory paging.
