This part of the problem cannot be a transcoding problem, unless he means that while a song is already playing it take 30-40 seconds. If it takes that long without music, something else must be wrong. Maybe the HD is set to spin-down if the system is idle.

Yes, 512MB. I guess it would defnitely explain slowness if it werw 512KB

I have downloaded LAME using pointer on the WIKI, selected WAV PCM

Thanks for the responses. Answers to both threads:
The system has 512K of memory. There's between 50K and 100K free in the
steady-state. It's hard for me to gauge CPU utilization right when this

Another question: what format is the music in - does it have to be
