It may be the squeezebox Touchnitself s that buffers ? Does it say buffering on the display then the network capacity is not enough ? You don't run this over wifi . Important distinction downsampling usually takes place int the server the Touchnitself can't do that hence less bandwith used . Make sure you send files as flac not PCM/wav if you constrained in bandwith you save 40% roughly . -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
