make shure that you use MySQL Server and not SQLite (settings - advanced - performance - MySQL Server). This immediately solved the problem for me. No more stuttering at all though I exclusively play flacs and many of them are 96/24-files. After changing this setting to MySQL Server, make sure

buffering can be caused by weak wireless or not having enough cpu/ram on what ever is running squeezebox server (sbs). You can check the wireless by connecting a network cable routerplayer and setting the player to use a wired network connection. see if that sorts it then you know you either need
