That is a rather large playlist.  The first thing I'd do is try a
folder or playlist with 10 entries.

Ogg does require slightly higher overhead because the tremor code has
to convert it to mp3.  My suggestion is to try one of the test
internet radio stations in /usr/playlist/default.m3u.  KSCR or Radio
XY are working, I just checked.  If you can't stream these mp3 then it
is either something with the H3 or your network.   I've got one of the
slowests NAS's (Linksys NSLU2 fully loaded with extra apps) and a
really slow HomePlug network too which is only 2Mb at my stereo, and
streaming mp3 at 320 kbs is not a problem. I hope to have an H3 soon
and I will be able to answer better then

When streaming http mp3 you can hold the pause down to increase the
playback buffer for slower networks.  With ogg there really is no
buffer which would definitely be a problem on a poor network.

Nothing obvious, but the zombies surprise me.
