WinAMP 3 can't play streaming audio on XP

mweiss · 4th April 2004, 04:11

I finally got around to installing the currently-available version of WinAMP Lite.

Unfortuately, this Windows XP computer still cannot play shoutcast streams that my other two Windows 2000 PCs with WinAMP 1.82 can. It launches, then displays "1. listen(1)" in the title area. No sound. Any ideas? Or maybe I should install Windows 2000 on this laptop?

UPDATE:

I disabled the 'check for new versions of WinAMP' and the next time I clicked on a shoutcast link, it spooled up and worked as it should. Odd.. but it's working now.
