What other symptoms do you see immediately prior to/after the freeze?
sometimes mediastreamer closes, most times it just freezes. No rhyme or reason that I can detect

I assume the music stops being played at end of song after media streamer freezes.
it'll stop playing after the last song in the playlist

I first thought that it sounded like a network connection issue where Media streamer looses connection/control and locks up? (are you using DHCP, have you tried with manually allocated IP's for all devices?)
I don't use DHCP anywhere on my network, I find it causes me way more grief than it's worth.

Then you mentioned file names and I have a vague memory of issues with some file types and naming strings?
I hope not...man oh man that'll be a royal PITA to go through all those songs one by one

PS, I have had similar problems when using Cidero (On PC) and Media Streamer on Nokia 770 to control playback and have not managed to pinpoint what causes the problem when it occurs.
haven't tried that yet, I'll give it a shot and see if has the same problems

On holiday at moment but will test when I am at home next week.
*green with envy*

appreciate you taking the time to give this some thought. There are times I stare at a problem long enough that I miss the most obvious thing.
