Question MP3 player with Buffering & Playlist

Hello All,
I am looking for an AX compatible MP3 player that will buffer songs played across my wireless B network and that also has an on screen playlist, I have tried all of the following unsuccesfully;
Media Player, PocketMusic, Pocket MVP (buffers great, no onscreen playlist), WinamPAQ, and GSPlayer.

I know I am being picky, but I am sure there is one out there that I haven't come across yet. I have searched the forums for days and finally figured I would ask. This is by far the most informative Axim site on the net.

How much of a buffer do you need? I use PocketMusic and it streams MP3s just fine over my 802.11b network. There's also a setting for cache size. I don't know if this setting is valid for playing files over a network or if it's just for caching from media such as SD or CF. But it works pretty good for me.

I am looking for something that buffers about 512k to 1 mb. I can get PocketMusic to stream the file and I have tried adjusting the cache and buffering settings in the options menu, but it does not stop the file from cutting out when I walk more than 5 feet from my wireless router.

What bitrate are the MP3s you're playing? Maybe that's the problem, although it would have to be very high do be any sort of an issue. I get all the way across my house without any of the music cutting out. I don't think that the buffer is the problem. You'll want to check the signal strenghth you're getting on your handheld.

Average Bit rate is 128 to 192. I have maybe a handful (less than 12) encoded at a higher bitrate. Signal strength is 90% or better when it begins to cut out. I have only one other device running on the wireless router, my latop. I have turned it off and still experience the same problem. I do appreciate the suggestion though.
