May 3, 2013 12:05 PM in response to Pallisgaardby Jonathan Dumaine,First delete any files that start with 'com.apple.itunes.*' in ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/. This will clear your iTunes preferences.
Next, open Terminal.app and run each line one at a time:
defaults write com.apple.iTunes file-buffer-size 512000
defaults write com.apple.iTunes stream-buffer-size 512000
You may need to experiment with the number, but 512000 works well for me.
Disclaimer: iTunes may or may not decide to use these preferences, so it's entirely possible that it fails to read these values and they don't have any effect. With that said, I do seem to notice far fewer skips and stutters with the 'buffering stream' window popping up after having set this.

Jun 24, 2014 2:55 PM in response to Jonathan Dumaineby byKohl,Great!
But 512000 doesn't work fine for me, 256000 was like a charm
Using iMac 27 16Gb...

Feb 28, 2015 1:16 PM in response to Pallisgaardby Robin_H,I'm on iTunes 12, and changing the buffer size didn't work for me. I tried 512000 and 256000, and neither helped. It's really frustrating that all of a sudden I simply can't listen to internet radio at all (unless you count 3 seconds worth as listening). A few days ago, everything was fine. My internet's working fine otherwise, and speed test comes out the same (around 70Mbps download). Any new ideas?

Mar 27, 2015 2:36 PM in response to Robin_Hby pandaexpress00,So far, I would suggest using the sources stream and importing it to iTunes specifically.
A majority of stations rely on hosting that they pay for, or are sponsored (even at small levels).
Have you tried this with multiple stations/genres?
