i set up flip4mac on my macbook pro and still can't get a good consistent stream from xm online. it works great for about 8-10 minutes, then starts having short half second drop outs... then gets progressively worse. i also tried the xm online widget for dashboard and its has the same problems. i've tried on two different connections, so i know that bandwidth isn't an issue. anyone know how to remedy this?

yes i had the same problem but the solution is easy. in the flip4mac system prefrences, go to the movie tab and put a check next to the "create streaming movie" option. what this does is cause the audio stream to buffer and then begin streaming, rather than what appeared to be downloading and then playing back the audio as is the default.

my mistake.. i should have replied to my post saying that i found the answer on the flip4mac's support forums.... thanks though for the response!
