It's working perfectly! Ziroc did say it works on a 56k Modem. Mine cuts out every 15 seconds. It reloads the buffer or something. If you are using Winamp, can you turn off buffering, or is that not a good idea?
DJG</font>[/QUOTE]Turning off the buffering is a way bad idea, you actualy want to turn the buffer up. What it is, is it saves 5 or so seconds of the radio and plays it, so if the connection slows it has a bit in memory. If your connection is on average faster than 24Kb/s, your buffer will tend to stay full and you will only get cutouts when you do some heavy net activity. If your connection is slower than you will get cutouts every time the buffer is emptied.
With no buffer you will get whatever portion of the audio gets to you - depending on your connection this may be perfect, or crap. Whereas with a buffer, you always get a perfect playback, but not neccaserily all of it.
In short, run with a buffer unless you have lots of bandwidth without much activity.
And the banner only changes when your browser re-loads it. Since the browser only sees filenames, it thinks the picture Ziroc currently has up is the same as the one in cache. Till Ziroc fixes that, dont trust the banner. I think I saw a way to handle this easily a while back, if I dig it up Ill post it.
