Please can someone help me before I put my PS3 thru my window
All I want to do is effortlessly stream my MP3's stored on my PC hard drive thru my PS3

Up to 3 weeks ago I was hard wired from my PC to a Netgear DG834G (in upstairs bedroom) & streaming to my PS3 downstairs wirelessly. I was streaming using Tversity (have also tried WMP) but each MP3 was taking a minimum of 30 seconds to buffer between tracks. A fair chuck of my albums are mixed so having a large gap in extremely annoying :mad:

So having not found an answer to the large gap between tracks, I concluded it was due to range of router to PS3.... so I invested in a new 320gb internal HD for PS3 :(:( Having transferred all my MP3's over & then realising that the PS3 is totally incapable to organing tracks in any folder structure I looked for another alternative. (what a waste of £50 that was!)

Lastly I decided to get a pair of home plugs...this has got to resolve issue i thought :confused: I thought wrong :eek:

So I am now connected via ethernet from PC to router, ethernet from router to homeplug & then (downstairs) ethernet from other home plug to PS3......

BUT THE GAP BETWEEN TRACKS IN STILL THE BL**DY SAME. I have amended settings in PS3 to WIRED but no joy

Before I put my size 10's up the PS3 can anyone help on why I should still be seeing a 30 second between tracks.

Thanks in advance

Well... it MIGHT be that your computer simply doesn't stream well. Mayhaps? I'm not sure what the specifics of streaming are, but that might be part of it.

That said, you could also go the route of buying an external memory source (HDD, flash drive, blah blah blah), stuffing the music tracks into there and arranging however you like, and when you access it, simply pressing Triangle --> Display All. What this should do is let you browse through the folders much like with any other OS.
