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


OK, same problem. Audio stops for a few seconds and then resumes. Happens for every song I listen to, maybe 2-3 times. Happens in the client and the web browser, on a Mac and also a windows machine.

Last.fm support people. Please give more hints as to what to do if it may be a problem with a router/ISP? I have a fast connection with no problems in any other application or stream: PANDORA, youtube, news video, HULU, etc.

I set the HTTP buffer in the client to 1024 KB (or more) and get same problem. This preference seems to randomly revert to 'auto' mode? I have done clean installs of the client on Man and Win.


Removed all last.fm client files on my mac. Fresh install. No skipping/pauses for 3 songs, then skipping/pauses returned just as bad. Tried the last.fm client, the last.fm web, songbird plugin and all had pauses. Now listening to internet radio station, WXPN, through VLC and no skipping/pauses at all.
