After a few weeks of struggling to get this great player to work - I have discovered a few things.

My setup

Server used: Icecast2
AutoDJ
Audio Files: MP3
Stream 64 Kbps
Flash player: FFMp3 0.40

Problem: Audio would work for a while but then start to breakup, by pressing the Stop & Play Buttons, problem goes away but soon returns

Solution:


  • Check your Bitrate is consistent on all your uploaded files
  • Check your Sample Rate is consistent on all audio files
  • Check you files are stereo and not mono

Some recommended tools

dbPOWERAMP
Does Batch conversions of audio files with the ability to set the BitRate and the Sample Rates and more

MP3Tag - Excellent product to allow updating of Tag information and album covers
