I recommend connecting your SB to the router, assuming it has a spare wired port. Just one thing springs to mind now: am I right in thinking that your original setup has both the laptop and the SB on the wireless LAN to the router? If so, that might partly explain the problems - you are putting a lot of traffic on your WLAN, and if its suffering at all from interference then you will have this sort of problem. So another experiment would be to wire the laptop to the router, and have the SB wireless. One more possible thing to look at: I'm curious about why higher rate MP3s are playing fine, while lower rate AACs are not. I'm wondering whether this is because the SB can't play AACs natively: they must be transcoded by the server to something else, like MP3 or FLAC. Have a look at server settings/filetypes, perhaps your AACs are being transcoded to something high rate like FLAC or WAV?
