Wierd issue....

[Ikyo]

I just noticed that when streaming audio to one of my other machines...the now playing list is incorrect. Right now it is showing that it is a song after the one it is on. I am not sure if this is a common issue or not.

This is due to buffering in the player. Most players "reads ahead" in order to cope with varying bandwidth conditions.

Note that you can configure the buffer size in most players. If streaming over a local area network you usually don't need a lot of buffer. Some players also have a concept of pre-buffering (which is the amount of data read before playing when the connection to the server is established). Having a huge pre-buffer would normally lead to some initial delay (when switching songs, for instance).

Yeah, I just thought about that. I am switching to WinAmp from Windows Media. It actually handles the current playing song information which Windows Media doesn't.
