winamp starts shoutcast, nothing happens

ironic1975 · 23rd March 2001, 01:40

When I tune into shoutcast, nothing happens, other than a playlist is created with 1.Temporary 2.Internet and 3.shoutcast-playlist. Is it working, and I just don't know how to start listening to the music. I had a problem with the realplayer, I fixed that, but If I can't get this to work, I'll have to go back to that, please help me, Realplayer sucks.

thanks

YO, I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM TO

I could always listen to shoutcast. But a few months ago i reinstalled winamp. And I tried to listen but nothing happened. I click tune in, he's downloading. But winamp doesn't begin to play: i get shoutcast-playlist1 in my songtitle window. Very annoying. Im working on the problem but for so far i cant get the sollution. Do you solved it already? Somebody help us out. :P

I am having an almost identical problem. The first time I click on a link on the shoutcast.com website, it starts up winamp and plays fine. If I want to listen to another shoutcast server though, I can't do it by just clicking on another link. What happens is winamps playlist switches to contain only an entry of shoutcast-playlist[1]
If I look at the file info for that playlist, it shows me this for the location:

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\EBX3JUDH\shoutcast-playlist[1].pls

My guess is that somehow that [1] that is being appended to the filename is causing it not to play. If want to listen to another shoutcast server after the first one, I have to use 'save target as' on the link and save the .pls file to a directory, then open it from there.

This is very annoying, I haven't used shoutcast for many months, but I was trying to do so at a party the other day I hosted and it was very embarrassing when I was showing off different things I could do with my computer, including switching between hundreds of online radio stations with "one click", only to find out that I couldn't.

Does anyone know of an actual way to fix this problem? Having to save a separate file for each server is just not acceptable, especially since I have to name them all manually, since the default name for everyone is shoutcast-playlist.pls

Thanks in advance for any help.
