problems with streaming

miriamgomezm...	Date: February 23, 2004 @ 2:25 PM Is anybody experiencing problems when trying to stream some songs? I have tried it with both Netscape 7.0 and IE 6, but when Windows Media Player (the software I use for music) gets connected, nothing happens. It says: "connecting", but it does not receive anything. This has been happening today. Previously, I had no problems with streaming.

robbydadrummer	Date: February 23, 2004 @ 5:53 PM Nope, no problem here... even with WMP...
miriamgomezm...	Date: February 23, 2004 @ 5:55 PM Am I the only one to be experiencing those problems then???
miriamgomezm...	Date: February 23, 2004 @ 5:58 PM I tried with WinAmp and no luck either. Can't figure out what is happening.
milladrive	Date: February 23, 2004 @ 6:04 PM /me waits to see if anyone else is experiencing problems. Until then, I'm beginning to think that this is a problem isolated to your connection in some way.
miriamgomezm...	Date: February 23, 2004 @ 6:28 PM I can stream mp3 files on Soundclick, for example. There is no problem with those. I cannot understand what has happened to the mp3 files here. I have not installed any software yesterday or today and I have not changed anything in my computer.
robbydadrummer	Date: February 23, 2004 @ 6:33 PM That's odd... you're on dial-up, I'm guessing?
miriamgomezm...	Date: February 23, 2004 @ 6:37 PM No, I have DSL.
robbydadrummer	Date: February 23, 2004 @ 6:40 PM Hmmmmmmm... now I really have no idea. Anybody else?
vozz	Date: February 23, 2004 @ 6:46 PM I use winamp 5. It works fine.
miriamgomezm...	Date: February 23, 2004 @ 7:32 PM Strange... Let us wait until somebody else shows up with similar problems.
soundsseeker	Date: February 23, 2004 @ 8:44 PM I'm also having a streaming problem.. DSL connection but a constant buffering of the music.. only able to listen to a few seconds at a time...
pog	Date: February 23, 2004 @ 9:04 PM I've been getting that ... one time I got a 110k stream and it was fine, but usually, the hi-fi stream gives me grief. I noticed it's more likely to do it when streaming a 128k stream from a 320k source file. Maybe there's something in that.
soundsseeker	Date: February 23, 2004 @ 9:07 PM hm i'm off to do some connection checking... my advertised speed is 1.1mbps maybe some tweaking is in order. will also check on the 128k stream from 320k source file??
robbydadrummer	Date: February 23, 2004 @ 9:37 PM Isn't the hi-fi stream on here the same as the file's bitrate, or is it converted to 128k?
Woof	Date: February 24, 2004 @ 1:35 AM One thing to check... it's possible you don't have the file associations set properly... hifi streams here are m3u files... you might want to check that, and try again...
miriamgomezm...	Date: February 24, 2004 @ 3:58 AM Ah! Solved! I just woke up (it is morning here) and tried to stream some music to see what happens, and it is now working. It is a mystery. I think there was some kind of bug in the system or something like this. I really did not do anything in my computer, nor before problems started, neither now. In any case, thank you for trying to help.
