Ken, This has to do with the buffer times. See if there is a setting in RP options to increase the buffer times. What this does is download more info, before it starts playing. If you can, just press the stop or pause button until the progress indicator is almost finished.

I use the internet for my daily devotions each morning. One of the things I listen to is a Bible study by Dr. J. Vernon McGee, http://www.oneplace.com/ministries/thru_the_bible_with_jvernon_mcgee/ . I listen to this using RealPlayer. I hear a couple of minutes of the audio, then it pauses for 30-50 seconds to reload for the next segment. Is there something I can do to avoid or lessen the delays? Please reply privately to gulftech@xxxxxxxxx Thanks in advance, Ken Smith Gulf Technical Services 3034 Gulf Breeze Parkway Gulf Breeze, FL 32563 850-934-8324 (Voice), 850-932-0819 (fax) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lost Password: http://www.tech-assist.org and select "Login Problems?".
