Just as the title states^^
I first started streaming the station through a free websites server, and could change my streams name on Winamp any time I wanted
A few days later, I started using Centova, and I tried to change my stream information as it appears on the shoutcast directory on both winamp and centova and it won't change !!
I tried everything from "updating" to restarting the server and I just accepted the fact that I don't know what I'm doing now~
My changes that I make to my stream information show up in Centova, and on my streams direct link page, but it won't show up in the shoutcast directory at all.. even changing my info in winamps isn't doing anything anymore ~

Edit: I want to include multiple genres in my directory as well, but I can't update ANY information as it appears in shoutcast's directory, or so it seems. All that set aside, winamp is only giving me a dropbox to choose one genre for my listing anyways :s

not knowing the version of the DNAS being used, i'd have to assume a v2 and then you ned to see -> http://wiki.winamp.com/wiki/SHOUTcas...ash_Management

though if you're having issues when using a 3rd party control panel, then that's the best place to start off trying to get help as they could be doing all sorts of things to manage such values.

the Directory has not supported multiple genres since 2009 which is why the Source DSP only allows you to select one. if you want 'more' then you need to use the keywords / tags entry in the authhash (as above).
