Re: Last.FM problem: Streaming bufferring, slow streaming, audio skipping


Last.fm has been buffering like crazy. No problems with Pandora or streaming anything else on the web (for example, iTunes radio or quicktime movie trailers). My connection is very fast, 6mb/sec and the speed tests are good. Only having problems with Last.fm. Doesn't matter if I use the web-based Flash player or the OS X app. Same buffering issues. I upped the buffer from 16k to 512k and that seemed to help a litle bit (but shouldn't the "automatic" buffer just work?) Practically, I can't listen to it like this

Nobody knows how to fix this? I'd rather listen to Last.fm because I like the selection better than Pandora, but at least Pandora NEVER skips out. How can I get my Last.fm working skip-free again? This buffering thing is insane given how fast my connection is. I even tried both the wired and wireless connections and it skips with equal regularity on both. I have a D-Link router... is there any special thing I should set up there that can make it better?
