Newbie looping problem...

Hey guys!

Today, I installed Shoutcast. The install went fine and I was able to broadcast with ease.

But, I do have one problem. I've searched the forums and I can't seem to find a solution to it.

For now, I've just been experimenting with broadcasting one mp3 at a time. I start playing the mp3 and then I connect to Shoutcast. As soon as my server has been "touched" I begin to listen to my broadcast. The thing that is always happening is, about 10-20 seconds before the song ends, it loops back and then it skips repeatedly. The mp3 never reaches the end.

Can someone tell me how to solve this problem?

One other trivial question: When I open the Shoutcast Source window in Winamp, there doesn't seem to be a way to close it. It also opens--and stays open--every time I run Winamp. Is there a way to close it?

Thank you!

If you go to your winamp Options -> Preferences -> Plugins -> DSP and then deselect the shoutcast DSP it will close and stay closed until you select it again from the same window.

It worked! Thank you. :)

yes, but If you deselect it, I dont think It continues to broadcast, does it?

I don't think it would work after being deselected. I just wanted it closed up when I wasn't broadcasting.
