Perfect :-) :-) Installed LAME into to appropriate folder under slimserver\server\Bin\MSwin32........ Restarted slimserver, and LAME detected ok. Turned bitrate limiting down to 96, and it works a treat. I'll gradually up the bitrate until I find a happy medium. Cheers for your help duder! Dan.

If so do you have bitrate limiting set and lame installed? If not I would suggest setting bitrate limiting for this player (settings-player-audio). [requires lame to be installed] It may be that you don't have enough network bandwidth to stream otherwise.

It's nearly there, but not quite. I can connect to radio stations, and can hear playback. But playback is unterrupted by a pause every few seconds. For example, I can start listening to Chris Moyles through the "Listen Again" section, and I get sound and can make out most of what is going on. But every few seconds there is a break in playback. I mean literally - every 5 or 6 seconds - it just stops playback. So far, all stations I've tried (3 or 4) give the same result: I can hear them and the quality is very good - it just keeps getting interrupted, which makes it kind of hard to listen to :-( The counter still counts the time with no pause, so I guess that things are still working in the background - it's just the sound that is messing about. 'Normal' playback (of MP3s) works fine, with no interruptions. I'm guessing it is something to do with the buffer. I was wondering if there is a specific setting I can use to increase the buffer size to stop the breaks in playback? I tried adding the buffer fullness to the display, but this doesn't seem to work with AlienBBC (??) I have a broadband connection through NTL Cable - rated at 1.5MB download. I'm hoping that this should be ok for streaming? Any advice welcome! It's *so* close, but not quite there :-( Cheers!
