I should really make an easier Windows installer now that this has become way more popular among Windows users.

Many things can cause this like lack of cpu power, bad ffmpeg etc, but you could try to disable aspect (check wiki) and see if that lowers the amount of artifacts. Does this happen with other source codecs than xvid too?

This might be due to ffmpeg not having mp3lame support. Does Browser profile work in Browser? If so, then lame support should be there. Try streaming music with passthrough profile and see if that helps.

EDIT: Forgot to mention, there is now a new client in -devel. It should allow you to use SSL + auth with the client for safe 3G streaming. Be sure to update your server too. Follow the instructions in the wiki.

But note this is for advanced users and I take no responsibility if you mess up your phone or share your content to the rest of the world. You have been warned!
