Why am I experiencing a stop/start stream or unable to listen?

If you’re experiencing playback issues, it’s typically due to a lack of bandwidth. The most common reasons for this include:

  1. Active Downloads or Uploads: Downloading or uploading files while listening can consume bandwidth, which may disrupt your streaming experience. To resolve this, pause or stop any downloads/uploads while listening to the radio.
  2. Weak Internet Signal: A weak wireless or mobile internet connection may not provide enough bandwidth to support the radio stream. Try connecting to a stronger Wi-Fi signal or ensuring you’re in an area with better mobile coverage.

By addressing these factors, you can enjoy a smoother listening experience!
