Hi, the settings were: AAC = native, FLAC = faad/flac, MP3 = disabled, PCM = faad , which doesn't mean anything to me. When the going gets weird - the weird turn pro. Hunter S Thompson CD's - EAC/Grip - ReadyNas NV - CAT5 - Sonicwall - TP - Meridian 551 - Monitor Audio Gold - Me :-)

Update - taking a break from the Internet radio test and trying it playing flacs from my library and so far it's played for fifteen minutes without a glitch so it's looking like an Internet issue but I have a very good high speed broadband so I'm at a bit of a loss as to what it is causing the

Likely the PI is just lacking the processing power to transcode. Unlikely to be your ISP or an internet issue. Simple test to find out. Player Internet Radio Search Audiophile Classical (this is a 320k MP3 stream) If that plays without buffering (which I bet it will) then your ISP,
