"network connection speed insufficient to maintain playback buffer"

I've been having the same problems with music playlists stop playing and "network connection speed insufficient" messages coming up shortly after every track it try's to play and skips to the next!!!! Really gets annoying when your trying to chill out!!!

    After many years of almost flawless performance using 3 ZP-90's as digital transports and a single Sonos-1 in the kitchen, the systems I have invested in and use daily are essentially worthless with the same complaints I have seen far too frequently above. I have tried all of the remedies suggested in these pages with no successful results instead costing many hours wasted I should have been enjoying music. I have always praised the reliability and simplicity of the Sonos system and have shown some audiophiles that it can be a bit perfect transport- not so much now...

    I submitted diagnostic 1022246237.

    I look forward to your kind reply.

    I have experienced this problem for months and it's driving me nuts. Nothing helps, and believe me, I've tried everything. Spectrum verified a solid connection and speed, new cable modem, new Netgear Orbi Mesh network, tried every Sonos channel... I have addressed every possible point of failure and it persists. The only thing I can add is that this ONLY happens using Napster. All I use Sonos for is Napster, Pandora and Tunein. Thinking it might be a Napster issue. Before they took over Rhapsody things seemed to be fine. Anyone else experience this maddening frustration?
