Why does the Windows Media Player stop and uffer audio?
So that we can provide better quality stereo sound with our audio-on-demand, the Windows Media format requires that you have a 56k modem or better. Even if you do have a 56k modem, there may be times when network congestion causes an occasional pause, and ‘buffering’ of data. Unless you have a Broadband connection, viewing other web pages while listening is also likely to cause interruptions.
