running Winamp from removeable media?

hawk606 · 12th October 2004, 04:19

Is it at all possible to run Winamp from like a floppy disk, usb thumbdrive, cd rom, or something like that?
It would be rad if I could do some kind of special install onto a CD-R/RW so I could listen to shoutcast streams from places where I can't install winamp onto the system.

you feel me?

Sorry if this has been asked before, or if this isn't the right place to ask it.

Yeah, just copy the Winamp folder over to the device. If it is right only, like a CD-ROM do not install the Media Library, it will crash when it tries to write it's database on the CD.
