What is the syntax for using a password

[bdmayo]

I'm helping a nephew setup a SHOUTcast server and using Winamp I get invalid password when trying to connect. The trouble is that I never get asked for a password. Is there a syntax in the URL that I need to use?

You need to go into the config file on the server and find the part that says "Password=changeme" under the "Server configuration" section of the file. Change "changeme" to your desired password and be sure to put that same password into your Shoutcast DSP so you can connect to your server.

That's what I thought. Now, I've been searching for the SHOUTcast plug-in but can't find it. Any ideas where I can get it?
