Buffering !!

[Karin]

Why is it when listening to radio via Media Player Radio
tuner on web it keeps buffering every now and then ? So
frustrating that it's impossible to listen to half the
time. Would it help if had broadband ?

The faster the connection the less you'll notice the buffering part of it.
You can also verify that the station your are listening to is optimized for
a modem or for a faster connection. Locate a modem-friendly station.

This is streaming, it has to buffer it, to give you smoother play
back, trouble is your raido playback is faster than your internet
connection and cannot keep up hence the buffering.

Broadband will fix this problem as you can download more faster.

This website can help you optimize your Media Player.
THere are things that you can do to fix this other than getting
broadband.
The newer version of media player, has buffering issues, downgrading
to 6.4 works much better.
