It's funny. I posted that last week after others had issues, and I experienced them as well. Since then (have not tried it today), I played the mellow, regular, and rock (regular) streams most of the weekend, and I was in listening range (most of the time), they all played fine all day, for days. One thing that was common to all that time, no one else was using the network, the touch had it all to itself. I had thought in the past, and continue to think (just a guess/theory) that these streams are less forgiving to network/isp interruptions/bandwidth/exceptions, that is, they stumble more easily and don't resume gracefully. Example - maybe a 128kbps - 320kbps standard internet stream just rebuffers, then continues, an these streams do not handle it as gracefully. That is my theory assuming the RP side is working fine. At my current location I have an old pc with little memory, crappy dsl (10mbps down, 1-2 up, provider is notorious) and everything is on wifi (rpi server connected to router though). It's easy for one activity to choke another here, so you could say this is a good test system for my theory :) Having said all of that, the streams sound wonderful. I don't want my appreciation to Michael's and others efforts in integrating these into SB to get lost by noting the hiccups that occur. I am not whining :) They are very livable for me. One last thing, I have only ever seen the "go back to a previous song" on the interactive streams, which makes sense I guess.
