Stream jumps/skips at beginning of song

[bigjohn85]

Hi all,

I searched and could not find a solution to this problem. I am playing my Shoutcast stream from an embedded WindowsMedia player, and after a few seconds of playing each song, the stream skips a few seconds in the song.

I assume this isn't a buffer issue, since it only happens at the beginning of new songs in the stream.

I am using an 8 second crossfader - the default one built into Winamp.

My guess is that this is the song title data being streamed from Shoutcast. It seems to just be a blip in the stream. Is there a way to fix this?

Thanks for your help.
