Re: Any sonic penatly with using Wi-fi to transfer songs?

I will answer in two part:

A. No, none, because network transfers like this by necessity are perfect, that is bit for bit.

B. That said, there could still be a "yes" if you can't get the data across the wifi network fast enough to play it. A track will effectively skip or pause, though in fact it is just waiting to get the next part of the file it needs. This wouldn't normally happen if you are using a decently speedy network, and there is not a nasty amount of interference. Interference can cause packets to be dropped or corrupted such that they need to be resent (cf. A.), which cuts down speed.
