Have you listened to my radio show yet? Here's a tip: please do. Okay, now I need to fill space. Ummm... is streaming media too choppy on your 28.8 connection? If you have Windows Media Player v6.0 installed (also known as MPLAYER2), you should be able to change its time/memory buffer. Open the Multimedia icon in your Control Panel, flip to the Devices tab, expand the Media Control Devices list, then double-click the Wave Audio Device option. In that dialog box, press the Settings button. Now, the default is '4' seconds; those with slower connections may find '2' a more suitable number for cleaner media streaming (pauses may be more frequent, but less lengthy).
