Hello all,

I've recently re-ripped my music collection as FLAC instead of WMA.
Since doing this, i'm having problems with streaming music to my
Squeezebox 2. 

The tracks will occasionally stop playing, the track timer bar just
pauses and the audio stops. Pressing play again starts the track playing
from the start. It happens on various FLAC files, and it didn't occur
before with WMA. 

So far i've:

Done a network test on the Squeezebox and this is 100% for all tests
except 5000kbps, which stays at about 90%. Wifi signal is 90%, ping
times under 1ms.

I also connected the Squeezebox via cat5 rather than Wifi - the problem
still occurs

Re-applied firmware 130 to the Squeezebox  - the problem still occurs

Checked the integrity of the FLAC files using 'flac -t' at the command
line (they were OK)

The server running Squeezebox Server (Version: 7.4.1) is a small
Windows Home Server, which doesn't have any obvious problems in
Performance Monitor and otherwise functions OK. It's not running any
other disk-intensive processes and has just been defragged.

I've read a couple of things about checking the amount of buffer the
squeezebox has, but I couldn't find these options - perhaps they were
only available in earlier versions of the software?

The only thing I have left to try is setting a static IP rather than
DHCP, but i'd be surprised if this fixes it.

Anyone got any other ideas?

Thanks in advance..
