Well I guess that it was only a matter of time that AOL would f**k up winamp and strangely it seems that everyone is OK with having an obviously broken component. No wonders this world is so f**ked up... we accept failure, shoddy workmanship and products without question. OK ... next time you buy a car just remember ... it will only drive for 10 minutes then you have to restart it.... IS THIS ACCEPTABLE?
You have to be seriously mentally challenged to vote "no" on this poll.

OK since it would seem that AOHell is not going to do anything about putting out a f**ked up product so can anyone here give me a Linux script that i can add to cron that will check for anyone logged in using the SHOUTcast F**KED player and kick/ban them if they are? Also can anyone tell me how to get a description in the SHOUTcast radio listings. I use SAM Broadcaster (under wine emulation) and SHOUTcast Server Version 1.9.8/Linux. I don't seem to display the description on the station listings which I would think would be the best place to warn people that if they use SHOUTcast radio to connect to my server they will be banned.

One last thing, I'm sick if getting replies blaming "flash" for this problem and saying AOL has no responsibility.... You are wrong and stop trying to pawn the blame on other peoples software (AOL is notorious for that) This is a problem that Winamp has to fix. AOL chose to use flash... if flash has a problem they need to contact flash and get it fixed or they need to find an alternative to flash. It's as simple as that. Back to the car example.... When you take you car back and say hey... this thing has to restart every 10 minutes and the dealer says .. oh .. that's a problem with a sensor that's made by "joe shmoe" we cant do anything about it... you will have to get joe shmoe to fix it. I really think you would be more pissed at the dealer than "joe shmoe". When Toyota had problems they were held responsible not the people that manufactured the defective parts. Not to mention the fact that if a car dealer sold a product with a known problem ... how much business would you think that dealer would get in the future....

AGAIN ... SHOUTcast Player needs to be fixed!!!! or I need a script to ban people that use it.
