- Windows Media Player
Stay upgraded when you can, it helps:
- A good Internet connection
Broadband, not Dial-up, or it skips
often
There could be any kind of interruption between your
computers and ours that's causing trouble. Please try several times
before emailing us.
If it doesn't work after a day or two, reinstall Windows
Media Player, close all browser windows, and try
again. That fixes the vast majority of problems.
Also make sure to have the lastest internet browsers installed (Internet Explorer, Firefox). This can make life easier on you, not only on this site.
Either you do not have a fast enough Internet connection to reliably listen to audio online, or there is network congestion going on. "Buffering" means that a few seconds are saved 'ahead' for you, so that tiny interruptions in service won't make you lose the sound, it gets taken out of that buffer instead. When that runs out, you hear skips. Try again when the network is less congested, or upgrade your Internet connection speed.
