hear music

[claudia Debruyere]

thank you for your answer !! i   i live in the country in a forest   ,i receive internet by phone cable and can have only 512K not more :-((  during 5years that was enough to enjoy music. now i told you i can receive only at Rhapsody  isles , everywhere my stream is stopped during the week  !  i would hope satellit connection could give me enough stream but you said it doesnt work with SL  ! i am very sad because as manager i had many live concerts in my sim and now , not possible to choose singers and manage music :-(((

Yes, not very comforting

But you can still try what i suggested in my other reply and just shut down other internet services such as Skype/ Browsers / VOIP programs, messengers etc to lower the drain on your bandwidth and have more left for SL and music streams.

You could also ask your provider if you could have a package with more bandwith. (Since your music streams 'do' work at times, hope still is it's just the usual fluctuations in the satelite connetion giving you these troubles. )

Some additional tips to try:

You can also try to 'listen' to a parcel's stream with a music player (such as VLC or Winamp) instead of using SL's inbuild streaming service. Just open the 'about land' information and look at the parcel media to get the 'streaming adress' then open this address with your musicplayer.

With simple Cast or Winamp you can also stream the music independend from SL and create an URL to put into your parcel media info to stream from. (http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Streaming_Music)

You can also try to increase your maximum bandwith usage in SL (viewer preferences - me - advanced) this will grant SL more bandwith (but might drain on other services)
