[slim] I'm also seeing music stuttering.
The stuttering isn't regular and appears fairly random. It could be only once every few hours for 30 seconds, or on and off for a period of a few hours. It isn't machine utilisation since during the last period of stuttering (stats below) it could almost no CPU usage on the machine. Is there any other info I can gather to try diagnose this? I guess in the absence of any other advice my next step will be trying to run a network cable to the Squeezebox, although that will be a pain in the butt.

Re: [slim] I'm also seeing music stuttering.
You do have some buffer fill problems, but it doesn't seem to be caused by poor wireless strength or anything server related. That leaves interference. Does this happen when you use a microwave oven or cordless phone? Are you near neighbors with such devices? You might want to play around with a wireless survey, changing channels, antenna orientation and the like.
