Welcome on the List! If you experience those issues even with older 
files it is
most likely a problem with Chrome or with the webserver settings.

Especially if you use a streamripper, Icecast is mostly out of the 
business as it
just passes the stream through and doesn't really touches the mp3 except 
doing
icy metadata but that should not cause issues for the streamripper as it 
doesn't get that
data unless it specifically asks for it.

It would help if you could provide a link to a file which is causing 
problems.
