What do I do if the audio cuts in and out (i.e. the audio “hangs,” or stops playing, then starts again)?
1. The most common cause of intermittent audio is attempting to use Pandora over a dial-up connection (also known as an analog modem connection). Pandora is not compatible with dial-up connections. Only a broadband (e.g. DSL, T1, or cable) connection of at least 150 kbps will smoothly deliver our high-quality audio streams. 2. Even if your connection is rated at sufficient bandwidth, sometimes there are issues that cause your actual throughput [a measure of how fast data is able to move across your internet connection] to fall below the minimum required for Pandora’s audio streams. To verify you’re getting at least 150 kbps from your broadband connection, try visiting a speed-test site (here a couple that we like):     – http://www.dslreports.com/stest     – http://promos.mcafee.com/speedometer/test_0600.asp     – http://www.speedtest.net 3. If you’re getting adequate bandwidth, try installing or re-installing the Flash plug-in here. This will ensure
