Al -
It's an 80 kbps stream - that's probably way too much for a modem.
Most 56k modems deliver about 48 max on a good connect.

Try your player w/this URL:
http://audio.macromedia.com/samples/classic.swa
(It delivers a 16 kbps stream  therefore should play even in the hinterland.)

BTW you can get your client's pipe tested from:
Test Your Connection Speed
http://www.x-mp3.com/testyourspeed.shtml

note: I just tried it  it didn't connect, but it had been working as 
recently as a week ago.

Also note that a badly fragmented HD can cause gapping as the file 
system thrashes trying to cache the stream.

hi,

I have a music player that I just did for a client. simple, straight
ahead kind of thing. it plays either MP3 or SWA audio. problem is that
he is on a dialup  sometimes it does NOTHING or plays like crap,
breaks up in the middle  all that. doesn't seem to matter for SWA or
MP3. I am buffering the audio for 15 seconds so it should play unless
the connection is really abyssmal. of course we live up here in the
hinterlands of New Hampshire, so that may be the case!

I have Cable Modem here, no dialup so I'd appreciate it if some folks
who have dialup connections could try these  let me know how they
work.

please let me know the following if you respond:

  computer type:
  OS:
  RAM:

NOTE: the modem speed is the really critical part here grin

thanks a lot,

Al..

On my test dialup machine:

 modem speed:   56k
 computer type: Pentium II 233
 OS:Windows 98 SE
 RAM:   128
 Browser  version: IE 5.0

Audio takes about 40 - 50 seconds to play. Once it *does*
play it plays fine.

HTH,

Josie
