text: what does "rebuffering stream" mean on itunes, and why does it do it? trying to listen to radio on itunes but that box keeps coming up and "rebuffering the stream" why?  i want to listen to the music.  and why does it have a not so correct listing guide?  thought i would be in tune with some house, then i hear reggea, ain't got nothing against it but i wnat what i want.  and sircooldude90, where are u, is it sorted. i have no idea about the radio listing, but when it says rebuffering stream it means it's "smoothing" out the music file, so it won't skip when it's playing. since you're playing a live stream, it tends to skip. i'm not sure if there's a way to get around it too.
