Problem w/AOL Winamp

radiodude · 21st January 2003, 16:21

For the last couple of days when I try to listen to shoutcast streams, I've been having a strange problem. When I click on the link, the AOL Media Player opens and it shows the link I'm trying to access, but all it says is "Getting Info" and it never does get to playing the stream.

Any ideas on what might be causing this?

Thanks.

not sure, but you can disable the AOL player by renaming the file 'mimehook.dll' to 'mimehook.old' - not sure if i've spelt that right but look for a hidden file in your aol folder and you will find it.........

it might even be minehook.dll

I would just get rid of AOL if I were you. AOL is just a bunch of junk.
