I purchased a 7db omni-directional indoor antenna.

I get down to playing my music from my local machine (not internet
radio).

I fired up a playlist and it played and played no stuttering.  I played
all sorts of local random mixes for many many many hours and no
stuttering.  I'm standing there for hours watching in amazement at the
buffer fills up with such speed. Fills up to 100% in like 3 seconds as
the previous song is ending.  I am in Squeezbox heaven.

A few days go by, and I decide that my music is boring me.  I turn to
the fabulous SomaFM Groove Salad.  I play and listen buffer steady at
10seconds (even though I tell it to buffer for 20) and it doesn't drop
below 6 seconds of buffer.  I listen to internet radio for a day.  Turn
the box off at night, listen to the radio again the next day, change a
bunch of stations, absolutely perfect.  I'm so glad I got that
antenna.

When I go back to my local music, again I get problems with the
buffering.  It will not load the whole song unless I wave the squeezbox
in the air. It just stops at 4%, then goes up to 10%, and then to 16%,
and then to 14%, and then to 10%....then at the next song, stuttering. 
I'm getting loads of signal now too, at least 65% to 70% at all times.

I'm running 6.5.1 - 10751
Windows XP EN cp1252

Also, I lost my tray icon.  Usually, I get rid of these things, but I
actually liked this one because it told me the state of the server
(running, stopped, etc.) and I don't of any other way of checking the
status.  How ironic. I'm sure there is a way to get this back and even
though I RTFM, I can't seem to find it.

A neural transceiver is required for maximum communication, 
we will work as one mind. You will be assimilated. Resistance is
futile.
