Hi,

i got a problem with Songbird on Win XP.

streaming/listening to a song on a random MP3 blog is resulting in stuttering. the playback sounds like it was in slow motion. noises, pauses, stuttering basically. it's totally unusable.
it plays mp3s from the library just fine.
it's no connection/network issue concerning speed. there's plenty of bandwith. and while XULRunner takes about 30% of CPU i don't think that's the reason either cause the library mp3 playbakc works just fine.
i didn't find anything, please help.

best,

it could be the server having bandwidth issues?

do /all/ of the http-based tracks have this stuttering, or just that one?

does it still do it now?

hi,
thanks, but it's not working. i don't think it's a bandwidth issue since i can stream files of the same blogs in other media players just fine. i tried about 15 blogs. any other suggestions maybe? or i'll just hope the next update will work for me. i'd really love to use songbird

;)
cheers

how is it in 0.3.1?

if it's still a problem, you should make a bug in our Bugzilla:
