Well, these are not recording devices, they are streamers. If you want 30 minutes to hours of recorded station streaming you need to actually record it. Buffering is needed to prevent choppy playback. If you are listening to a station and the players buffering interferes with playback, then you have a network issue. New content: just mute the volume or turn the player off till the new show starts. I'm giving examples and instructions for the physical player, not Android. If a player feature is missing from a third party control point you need to raise that as a feature request from the author/owner of that app. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97257 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
