Buffering Questions
When streaming files from various websites or radio
stations, you may have come across instances where the stream
stops for a few seconds (a buffer underrun). When
this happens, the player must re-buffer, or acquire,
more of the stream from the Internet. While
breaks in Internet access can normally occur, if you notice
underruns happening very often, you can configure a player so
it buffers more of the stream before playback. This may
cause you to wait a few more seconds before the initial
stream begins, but once the music plays, it is less likely to
stop during the broadcast. If you're doing this at
work you may be restricted from being able to make these
changes by your IT department - ask one of the friendly ones
to help you out. Here are instructions for common
players - if you have a different version you may have to look
around but it will similar to these...
