Song Requesting Please Read
 

HELP!!!!!

I am running winblows XP with a cable connection. I can run the shoutcast great. Threw in my IP got winamp going etc etc etc. I would like to setup a requester so that I can adjust the song stack from here at work where I listen to the stream. I tried the wwwamp and keep getting an error when I try to connect about opening the socket. I amso tried the one from odd something or other and the setup freezes when it gets to installing the MySQL part. I have read through a lot of the entries in the forums about this topic and I am not able to find anything that can help me. I know that I am probably missing something stupid and need another point of view. If it would help I wil post my configuration file for the wwwamp and see if there is something anyone see's that may be the resolution. I have a simple site almost setup for this. I am not looking for anything complex as I will be the only one using the stream, just a way to put certain songs next depending on work, I am sure that everyone has times where metallica sounds better than enya based on the mood you are in. Any help that can be offered will be GREATLY APPRICIATED.

If you're using windows, why call it "winblows", when obviously you're satisfied with it?

What is the exact message you're getting in wwwinamp

[Main] Loaded config file from wwwinamp.ini
[main] intializing port 666....
[makedb] initializing database.....
[makedb] 1384 files under D:
[Main] Error Opening Socket
[main] error opening dest socket! FATAL ERROR!

I hope this will help. I will also add that I am running a blackice firewall and have set the preferences to allow the port. Thanks for all the help
