Hello,

Hummm. Well you have plenty of memoy.

So here is just a guess:
Try messing with buffering etc.

Left corner -->Options-->Preferences-->Configure-->Buffering

or try different --> Output Plugin

But remember what you had so this does not make things worse.

XMMS should work for you but worse case -- write a script
to use mpg321. Actually I am writing a player with
expectk script language to make mpg321 do what I need it to do.

Best Wishes
