What is rebuffering?


.
My Squeezebox is connected wirelessly to my router. I use Rhapsody for background listening on my Squeezebox. Periodically a song will stop right in the middle of playing for about ten to fifteen seconds and start playing again. That's annoying as hell.....especially when I'm singing along. I check the screen on the Squeezebox and it says that the song is 'rebuffering'. What does that mean? Do you think that if I went wired instead of wireless that the dropouts would stop? My Squeezebox is 50 ft away from the router and I have one of those super double-speed whiz-bang wireless N routers.

You guys are great, thanks to all of you for your advice and suggestions. There is enough stuff in your posts that you guys have suggested to assure me that I can remedy this thing one way or another.

Yes, there are solid objects in the line of sight between the router and Squeezebox, and for aesthetic reasons, that cannot be changed.

I haven't played much music from my hard drive lately on my Squeezebox, but I'll check it out to see if I get the same dropouts. I do have a 100 ft cable to run along the wall on the floor to get a wired connection, and it won't be much of a problem to do so...I just wanted to go wireless because the technology allowed it.
