Streaming radio-buffering

I need some help on iTunes and streaming radio as I don’t know much about it at all.
If I’m experiencing fairly frequent buffering on with number of different streaming programs (Tunein, StreamItAll) as well as actual radio station sites. Is this a known problem within iTunes or something that’s coming from the streaming programs or the radio stations?
Any and all info. would be helpful to me on this.

additional info.:
The very same stations stream fine on my desktop unit. That would lead me to believe that the station streams are stable, but perhaps they use different technology for streams to desktop units and iOS units; so I still need help on this one. Thanks

  • Internet radio buffering problems

    i have an E5 and i wanted to ask:
    why does the internet radio app/menu still stops and/or buffers once in in while even if the 3G & wi-fi signal is really good? what could be the causes?
    please help...

    Your connection could be fine but the internet might get congested. Lets say you stream radio from Taiwan. Your request has to pass about 12 nodes or more to reach destination IP. This takes time and possible datapacket loss. If you know the IP addres, you can perform a TraceRoute to see how long it takes to connect.

  • Streaming radio apps freezing

    Nearly every app I have to stream radio freezes and buffers every 30-40 seconds. The only ones that work are radio.com (CBS radio) and Pandora. Any ideas?

    If they are enabled for AirPlay, they will work.
    IHeartRadio and TuneIn radio app work fine.
    Look next to the volume slider in the app for the AirPlay icon.

  • Itunes 7.0.1 streaming radio and airtunes stutters/ drops out

    Hi there,
    With both the upgrade? to 7 and 7.0.1 there is suttering and dropping out of audio when listening to streaming radio thru airtunes. The problem doesn't exist when using realplayer and airfoil accessing the airport express. I know others have experienced this. I thought it would be fixed with this upgrade. Do you think it will be fixed anytime soon?
    thanks,
    rwa

    I'm also having the stuttering / dropping out problem.
    It seems to me that the latest iTunes (7.0.1) and AE have trouble keeping in sync.
    Selecting 'Multiple Speakers' does fix the problem for me, though it's annoying to do that in some situations.
    I use AirTunes over both wired (100mbit) and 802.11g conntections, using several computers (a 733mhz G4, powerbook, and macbook). I get the same problem with dropouts / buffering on ALL of them. It's definitely iTunes.

  • MacBook Pro. Was Streaming radio. When came back to computer it appeared to have shut off. Now can't get it to respond in any way.

    MacBook Pro. Was Streaming radio. When came back to computer it appeared to have shut off. Now can't get it to respond in any way. Now that you can't remove the battery, I don't know how to get it to quit, although it doesn't appear to be making any noise, so might have quit on it's own.  Any ideas? Thanks!

    I honestly don't remember what it came with though I do remember having two drives so long ago.  Since then I've had to replace them with newer, faster ones, and just didn't really need a second drive.  I don't copy cds, I just need something to read DVDS (which the current one doesn't seem to want to do) and occasionally burn something.
    I bought the MacPro becuase I am a tireless multitasker, having super memory eating programs on at all times.  Right now I am working in Photoshop while watching a movie, with two P2P programs open, two chat programs and surfing the internet, with two monitors active so I can see everything.. I can't imagine the average pc doing this wthout blowing up   Mac Pros are the ultimate computer for those that like to do a lot at once.
    The speed and memory capacity of the Mac Pro make it the best computer hands down to handle a mind that can't be satisfied with doing just one thing at a time!
    And six years after buying it, it can still eat the average pc for breakfast  How's that for great?

  • Streaming radio app isn't working in background anymore on iPhone

    Hi everyone,
    Just changed Network provider on my iPhone and since my streaming radio app isn't working in background anymore.
    Changed the SIM card, got the new network and since as soon as want to listen to streaming radio while surfing on safari or use an other app the streaming radio app is turning off.
    Before could do both without any issues.
    I only use the radio app once connected on wifi.
    Does anyone have any idea what happened?
    Thank you in advance for any answer.
    Cheers

    It went well again by itself...
    Thank you for those how had a thought about it.
    Cheers.

  • How do I record streaming radio stations?

    I am attempting to record a live streaming radio station, www.iRadiola.com, 90.3FM. Can someone tell me if that is even possible? My band is going to be played in an hour and I want to get the broadcast recorded. www.thedivys.com

    Audio High Jack Pro is the Best way to go. Do a search in Google for it. The Demo is free but the full package is about $30. It will record any audio played thru your Mac. Really neat program...all you do is point it at what program your using i.e. Real Audio, Quick Time. Then just hit the record button. It has a built in itunes tab so it will import straight into it. I use this for my podcast to add streaming audio such as Press Conferences and Game Highlights. Works great.
    Good Luck

  • How to turn streaming radio off

    I am having turning streaming radio or Pandora off when using OS4. The stream doesn't go off when switching to another app. I can't see an on/off button in the radio or Pandora app. I like using multple apps but would like to turn off the stream.

    The app has a play/pause button that will stop it. If it's in the background, you can double click the home button and scroll left to get to the audio controls.

  • Streaming radio when I lose my wifi connection

    I want to stream radio with wifi, but I am concerned I will rack-up big charges on my data plan if my internet connection dies.  Is there a way I can force streaming to halt if I lose my wifi connection.?  I discovered my iPhone will switch automatically to cell streaming when wifi streaming is not possible.

    You can turn airplane mode during streaming, or go to settings and turn off data in the cellular settings.

  • How do I fix choppy streaming radio for firefox and xp?

    XP Pro w/ Firefox
    I have researched this for days, weeks, no solution.
    I would like to be able to listen to my favorite streaming radio station while I am also doing work activities on my computer. The sound is fine if I am doing nothing but listening to the station. But whenever I open files, ect. it stops and starts, like a stutter.
    I have tried different browsers, same issue.
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Which streaming radio station is that? <br />
    Do you have any idea as to which '''plugin''' is being used by the "stream"? <br />Have you checked the Windows Task Manager > Processes tab to see what your Mem Usage is? You may not have enough RAM to be able to "stream" and use other programs at the same time. <br />That is the likely cause seeing that this occurs with different browsers.

    If it isn't supported by Flip4Mac, or is copy protected, you may need to install Windows on your Mac*:

  • Whenever I try to stream radio (pls or m3u) a program in MS Office opens instead of streaming.  I've tried reinstalling both Office and iTunes.  Any ideas?

    Whenever I try to stream radio (pls or m3u), instead of streaming the computer opens a program in MS Office.  I've tried re-installing both Office and iTunes, but that did not fix the problem.  Any ideas about a solution?

    You need to right (or Control) click on your playlist file and select "Get Info."
    Then in the Get Info Dialog go to the Open with section and select the app
    (like VLC or iTunes) that you want to open when you double click on the
    playlist.  You can click on the Change All button if you want all files of the
    same type to launch with the same app.

  • Streaming radio just stopped working Firefox version 8, but I can get everything else. Add on's are up to date. I can't recall if it happened after the Firefox up date or after listening to last.fm or what! How to fix this?

    Streaming radio just stopped working Firefox version 8, but I can get everything else not on stream to work. Add on's are up to date. I can't recall if it happened after the Firefox up date or after listening to last.fm or what prompted it. How to fix this?

    I installed-enabled MS win media player firefox 1.0.0.8, i still did not get streaming, error box comes up and says 'stream load error', the 'windows media test' thing did not work, i tried iheart radio-no luck, so i disabled win media player plug-in dynamic link library 3.0.2629 and tested and still did not work, i also have plug ins: silverlight 5.0.61118.0 and quicktime 7.6.9 7.6.9.0 enabled. I don't know why all of the sudden i have a stream problem with firefox, yesterday, i tried on IE which i never use and had no problem with it. i will try to do more trouble shooting and see, its really frustrating, if can't figure out, i guess will have to revert back to IE which i really don't want to do, but---oh well. thx for help.

  • Why does my Mac not play this streaming radio station

    Hi all.
    I have no trouble listening online to streaming radio at this site:
    www.6ix.com.au/streaming/stream.htm
    Yet when I try to listen to another online station, CurtinFM Radio found at:
    www,curtinfm.com.au/listen-now.html
    The 'connection' window comes up but when I try to connect I am advised that something or other is not supported.
    Both stations utilize Quicktime to play, and as far as I can tell I am up to date with Quicktime updates.
    Any advice appreciated.
    Regards

    Hi there.
    That was quick!
    Yes I do have FlipMac installed and again, I think that it is up to date. By default both stations open in Quicktime. I think that I have fiddle with FlipMac in the past without results in this regard, so at the moment I seek guidance as I am stuck. More advice in FlipMac I will also try.
    P.S. I am at the present listening to 1080AM radio on my Windows machine <:-{
    Mind you, this IS my kind of music. Geeze, I hope this does not date me.
