Bad Response from radio stations

[bmarton]

Hi, fairly new to Winamp. Have had it installed and running for awhile now. Now I cannot listen to any internet radio stations. I always get a message like:

{{"(HTTP/1.0 400 Bad Response) http://205.188.235.132:8052}}

I couldn't find anything is hours of forum searching.

I have been playing with plugins (some successes and some failures) though I have completely uninstalled and reinstalled. I also have this condition in two different NT sp6 machines.


Please help! Thanks, Bob

sounds like a problem on their side

Every or any station? It's been happening for about a week now.

Just tried to download a song from the winamp site, a wma file. Press play and nothing happens.

I also tried about 10 radio stations, different gendres, all have the same "Bad Response" error. They can't all be bad, eh?

This would be a great package if I could just use it.

Rgds, Bob
:rolleyes:

for WMA, you need to download the FULL version of winamp

[Budgie]

True, the lite and standard versions of Winamp do not ship with Microsoft WMA support. The full installation of Winamp will install such support, thus fixing your issue :).


Peace.

I installed the full version. Still neither WMA's or radio stations work. I have found that radio does work at home where there is no firewall, proxy, etc. I see (at work with proxy) that Winamp can autoupdate when loading, yet the radio stations get a "Bad Response"? What can I do?

[DJ Egg]

Winamp Prefs (Ctrl+P) -> Setup
Checkmark correct connection type (probably LAN, yes?)
Enter correct proxy details in proxy field, using the format:
Server:Port -or- Username:Password@Server:Port

If the problem persists, then you'll need to contact the system administrator and ask him to allow Winamp access to the internet. Maybe it's blocked in the firewall's config?

For WMA support, you need to (re)install Windows Media Player 6.4 (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/mediaplayer/en/default.asp)

I'm still a NeWbie, but what I know is that for about five months now, many USA radiostations, and maybe some international ones have closed shop waiting for a verdict in their legal battle with the Label Recording Companies.

Many RadioStations said they could not afford the price the Recording Companies were asking to pay/song-play.

The only still working station was SonicNet which was working hard two months ago changing its servers and the file coding moving from Real Audio format to WMP and back......

I'd wait for the Radio Stations and move over to some Internet based musical sites.
