Thanks Petro. Oh yes, I have experienced this same phenomenon but somehow didn't think of it when I was replying. Both of us in this household have computers and once in a while we both tune into the same station. The two streams won't even be exactly in sync with each other. I have also called the stations during a show and found the lag between broadcast time and the Net is quite noticeable. There is a show on KAAM I've been trying to time. I've gotten it within a few seconds of correct, but I haven't set the time for as long as five minutes. Most times I get it pretty close; but I will adjust if I find there's a real problem.

The data (packets) take time to reach you. The stream you hear is not LIVE. There is a delay. I have seen some audio streams 4-5 minutes behind. You can test this. Turn on your AM/FM station to a station that also streams on the internet. Compare the stream with the audio coming out of your radio's speakers. There is going to be a delay on the internet stream. I schedule the start and end times for some of my recordings 5 minutes early and 5 minutes later. This ensures I won't miss anything. -- To unsubscribe: e-mail blindreplay-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with unsubscribe in subject To contact list owner: e-mail blindreplay-admins@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
