    In the settings you can set the buffer time I think by default its set at 5sec try setting it to 0

    I don't think it's realistic to expect an internet feed to be live. If it was, there would probably be unacceptable levels of break in service that would render the station unusable.

    Before digital mp3 players, there was a CD player produced for joggers where the device could deal with the assorted bumping that would follow from being mounted on the belt of a runner. Seamless music flow was achieved by the simple device of buffering the music so that if the laser skipped out of position, there was always enough data (typically up to 30 seconds worth) to keep the music playing uninterrupted until the laser could be repositioned to continue reading the CD. The same principle is behind the deliberate delay involved in internet radio.

    I have a radio controlled clock beside my desk so I can see the exact time and if I'm listening to BBC R2 on my internet radio, the pips on the hour are typically 25 seconds slow.
