1) If it was just videos that was stalling, I would tweak but if even music mp3s stall I figure the problem's beyond a tweak.

2) WMP 11 streams the mp3s without stuttering so I know it's not a wireless bandwidth or computing power issue (unless you do something that makes it take that much more computing power)

3) I don't know if I needed to do this, but I did turn off the WMP service just in case.
