Thanks Sean. I am aware of that, but I currently live in listed building (called The Hobbits Rest) which I do not own. The only phone point is in the lounge (very near the Squeezebox) so I am a bit stuck. However, I am actually surprised at how infrequent the drop outs are with this set up. For now I have gone back to MP3s and radio (which appear to work fine). I'll leave the flacs till I buy a house high enough for me to stand up in (hopefully before I develop a permananent stoop).
