Problem: Icecast streaming from altazip.com stops after short run. Play continuously?

[dedclark]

When streaming audio (radio) through IE or Firefox, play stops after 15 or 20 minutes, thereby hindering my ability to set up a future recording time. Has anyone ever seen this?

Does this happen to any radio you try to listen to or only to a particular one?

I've only tried 2, but it stops on both

Please post or PM the URLs.

Do you have a slow Internet connection? Do you surf the net, download anything when listening to the online radio streams?

I just tried this at work as well, and it stops here as well.

I usually do nothing after I begin streaming and then recording a particular program, thinking it might hinder the process.
I also called the station and asked if it would be OK to stream and copy, and they encourage it.

The second stream stopped a couple of times for me after 35-40 minutes. I increased the buffer size from 5 to 15 seconds (I use freeware AIMP player) and it's been playing for me for 70 minutes already.

How does it affect your recording? Do you record from your sound card?
