[G4] Trying to listen to radio

[James Pacyga]

FYI...go to iTunes->Preferences

Select the Advanced (gear) icon, in the middle of the panel is 
"Streaming Buffer Size".  Select "LARGE" from the drop down and try to 
play the stream again.  It will take a bit to start since it is filling 
a larger buffer, but it may help solve your problem.  If not, then take 
the advice of trying a lower bit rate stream (like 56/64 kbps).
