The other factor here is that there is all kinds of stuff happening on the internet which creates traffic. When you coonnect to an audio stream, the connection has to make several hops from one machine to another, then another, then another and so on and so oon, and any interruption in the traffic can cause the type of activity you're experiencing, this is called buffering. Unfortunately there's not a whole lot you can do about it. Winamp, another free player does have a facility where you can increase the buffer for a currently playing stream but it doesn't support all kinds of audio streams out of the box. There used to be a plugin for it called Tara, which will play real audio streams, but this is long long out of development, and is therefore not recommended. So the only thing I can recommend is to just stick with real player and try listening at a different time of the day. and if you're on a dial-up connection and the station you're listening to is only for high speed connections, you may be out of luck. That's really all I can say.

Hi,
I am trying to listen to a station in real player, but have a problem. The station is very choppy and eventually stops every couple minutes. Is this possible to fix or is it likely a problem with the station?
