Aloha mtec89!

What is the Winamp/DSP combo input method?

1. Go to Winamp and enable the SHOUTcast DSP.
2. Click the "Input" tab
3. Look at the "Input Configuration", "Input Device" section
4. Is it set at "Winamp (Recommended)" or "Soundcard"

can you give me an example of taggin ?

[mtec89]

ID3 tags

[FesterHead]

sc_trans uses the filenames for the title.

Or,
1: Update the titles manually via
http://IP:PORT/admin.cgi?pass=PASSWORD&mode=updinfo&song=INFO

2: Try MP3Toolbox (http://www.radiotoolbox.com/downloads/)

[mtec89]

my web server isnt on my machines so that wouldnt work, so whats sc_trans?

[FesterHead]

The webserver does not need to be machine accessable to run the update script.
Only url accessable.

sc_trans is a *nix tool for sourcing the DNAS.

[mtec89]

how exactly is though going to update my http://radioserver:8000 page then?

[FesterHead]

Through the url noted above.

Change:
IP -> Your DNAS ip
PORT -> Your DNAS portBAse
PASSWORD -> Your DNAS password
INFO -> The info to show

[mtec89]

i dont have the time to do that link thing 24/7

[FesterHead]

Then create a script to automate it.

[mtec89]

what do you mean by a script?
