Yes, it's very simple. The web request uses all the cpu power,
streaming gets interrupted, slimp3 cannot recover because its buffer is
not large enough.

instead of cover view when browsing by albums?

to larger buffers. Slimdevices do a great job by still supporting even
their very first product. But I don't think it is reasonable to expect
the same performance from a slimp3 and a sb3. Most other companies
would have just dropped support for their earlier products to make you
buy their latest and greatest.
On mac and linux you can already fork web requests to a seperate
process. On low power systems this might not be sufficient (see my
previous post).
