Streaming music

Hi!

Streaming music seems like a good idea. But I have problems - the music stops or takes a long brake after a while. I have tried the following:

1) To stream via Internet from my office PC, using ORB.
2) To stream on my home network using PocketMusic player or Pocket Player.

So what am I doing wrong? Is my internet connection too slow? Is my home wireless network to slow? Did I encode the music files with too high bitrate? Did I set the buffers in the players too low?

I would be happy to hear from people who has made this work without hickups.

I am using an AximX51 520 mhz. My work computer has an upload speed of 7014 bits/sec. My home computer has a download speed of about 2500 bits/sec. The home wireless has a (theoretical) speed of 54MB/sec (but I suspect that the pocket PC only handles up to 11 MB/sec anyway). My wireless system handles "video on demand" streaming with no problems with my laptop. Also, it seems like the Axim handles streaming video better than audio.

best wishes
