Can shoutcast be heard in any media player or just winamp?
Thanks

I have played SHOUTcast with Quicktime. WMP9 won't work for some reason. And I have no clue if Real would work or not, not that I care or anything :rolleyes:

And then again, any of these Media Players worth their salt would at least stream the titles.

Thanks for all he replies I mainly needed to know that if I was gonna ask someone to listen to my station then I would also have them download Winamp at the same time. Thanks again for your help

iTunes works as well. If I were in your shoes, I'd list the players that are known to work with shoutcast, then recommend that if the visitor doesn't have a compatible player they download Winamp. or something like that :)
