Default Is Automatic Re-connect possible?

Using the latest media player to listen to streaming audio (live radio
station)

My broadband connection is fast but not very reliable, and every time I
loose connection for a short period of time, I have to reconnect the media
player.

Is there any way to make the media player detect the lost connection and
reconnect by itself?

Thanks, Ken

No, because that would tend towards a denial of service attack. =)

You can specify a rollover ASX which will give you more connection attempts,
but the player otherwise won't force itself to restore the connection no
matter what.
