Hey there...I know that this is an old thread, but I
was just playing around with this on my Newt (I run a
shoutcase server for myself and my wife to listen to
music at work) and wanted to show the Newt playback my
MP3s (cool factor). What I found is that if you have
the card set for "Store everything on the card" (that
little checkbox there on the card slip) the Newt will
playback the MP3s very choppy! My Shoutcast is
streaming at 40/kbps 22kHz stereo. It streams nicely
as long as my 32mb Pretec isn't involved.
interestingly, when I use my 2mb Newton (apple
branded) battery powered card, the streaming isn't
choppy either...I suspect it has something to do with
the memory speed...non battery powered RAM cards are
much slower than internal RAM or battery powered RAM
(found this out the hard way on my digital camera)
