I can't play music for more than 5 seconds

RockItProduc...	Date: December 31, 2003 @ 12:55 AM Everytime I stream a song on DMusic it plays for 5 seconds and then "communicates" and then it starts playing again but I can't hear anything. This is the only site it does this on, I have a fast connection, huge processor and ram, so it's not my computer I don't think. I use Real Player to play music. I tried e-mailing DMusic but no reply so could anyone help me?
ashleighj	Date: December 31, 2003 @ 12:59 AM check your buffer settings.. i'd try increasing it a bit and seeing if that helps, sometimes the servers can get a little bogged down. i have no idea why you wouldn't be able to hear it after the buffer re-fills, though.. maybe a real player bug or something?
TameasDust	Date: December 31, 2003 @ 5:21 AM real player has bugs ... this was discussed in another forum a long time ago ... sorta settled out to upgrading to the latest real player or using winamp ... I personally use winamp and have had no problems as of yet ... and winamp is free
gcnmarcus	Date: December 31, 2003 @ 9:33 AM Winamp has been pretty reliable, except I have experienced songs don't always seem to load so it jumps around a lot. I thought I had shuffle on, but it always goes in order from the first, plays the first 3 songs in the playlist fine and then it jumps to the 16th one. I figured it simply could not connect to the next song and tried the next one, and so on til it found one it could connect to. I also noticed when I tried to surf songs, the same thing happens, you end up having to wait like a minute before DMusic pages will load again and streams can resume, then you can surf about a half a dozen song before the same thing happens again.
Svensta	Date: December 31, 2003 @ 10:06 AM Are you streaming said music? Have you attempted to download a file or three and play them locally?
gcnmarcus	Date: December 31, 2003 @ 10:26 AM If that is for me Svensta, downloads so far have always worked.
RockItProduc...	Date: December 31, 2003 @ 3:40 PM Ok thanks guys, I'm going to see if there's an update for Real Player, and then check my buffer
milladrive	Date: December 31, 2003 @ 3:59 PM We don't actively support Real Player for streaming of audio because it does not comply with defacto audio streaming standards.
