i-Tunes: trouble listening to radio
This stinks! I can't listen to the radio without it saying "Rebuffering stream" every 5 seconds. Is it because I have dial-up?

yes
try one with a lower bit rate. 32 or so.

What like 32k? Because I have 56k.

With a slow modem, finding a 32...*maybe* a 64 bit stream will be the best.
And it's called iTunes.

Re: i-Tunes: trouble listening to radio
Eventhough you got a 56kbps connection that speed is theoretical , so your best choice is to listen to a lower bitrate that the one you are connected... my guess is that a 48 or lower is your best bet... 64 is ok , if you are willing to let ir rebuffer every two minutes or so , when the speed of the stream cathces up with your connection
