RE: How do I troubleshoot skipping music?

In your first post you said, "If this were being done wirelessly, I would suspect that, but it is a wired connection everywhere."

But now you're ordering some cat5 cable so I'm not understanding your setup. Were you experiencing problems playing music over Wifi or were you in fact using a "wired connection everywhere"?

It puzzles me when people say they are experiencing dropouts unless they are using a very under-powered computer and/or running other tasks while playing music, playing over a marginal network, or have some other severe issues going on in their setup.

How old is your PC, what CPU does it have, how much memory does it have? What media types are you playing through your PC? Is it simple CD quality 16/44.1 resolution music files, or much larger files that require higher bandwidth? Is your computer 'memory starved'? Is it swapping to disk? What player software are you using?

We can hope that your new cat5 cable solves your problem but not knowing anything about your setup makes true troubleshooting practically impossible.
