Wierd shoutcast problem

ndspeed3 · 24th April 2003, 21:25

When I click on a shotcast station to play, I get this error (attatched image). I have cleared the temporary files, like was suggessted, but no luck so far.

try saving a pls file on your desktop (right click on the listen link and go to 'save target as') and then double click that file to see if it will play.

does that even work?

yes that does work, but I would like to not have to do that every time I want to listen to a radio station. Do you know a work around?

Try clearing your Internet cache.

How might I go about doing that?

Check out the results from a forum search on 'clear internet cache'.

Look for a post by jiggamyzigga titled:
some stations work, others, no?

Hmm, this is weird, I tried that too, and still it didn't fix it
