Shoutcast Problems on XP
 
I used to use win 2k, and Shoutcast worked fine. Now that I switched to XP, it doesn't work anymore. Whenever I click on one of the station links, it asks me if I want to download the playlist file. :confused: :down:
Anyone experienced similar problems, or know how to fix this?

Did you try to download Winamp before you tried clicking on a station link?

Thank DJHotIce, but I'm not getting the same errors as they are.
Still, it might be as you say. I did a bit of searching, but I'm not sure how to disable the built in firewall. sorry, excuse my n00biness....

EDIT - Yes, I have the latest version of Winamp.

keep looking try Windows XP, Disable XP firewall, and any number of search critera!

This isn't a firewall issue.
It's a pls file file association issue.

Is the pls file extension associated with Winamp?

It's under the preferred media list if that is what you mean.

This is what comes up when I click on a station link...

This may just be a warning from your browser making sure you don't download a virus. Have you tried just hitting open?

I have - it asks me which program I should use to open the file. I choose Winamp 3. It opens Winamp, but takes no action - no music, nothing. Not even an IP in the playlist.
