How can I play Radio in WinAmp

bhavbhuti · 3rd November 2006, 04:38

Hi all

I have tried to connect to http://media.trytel.net/980kruz in WinAmp and it will give an 'error syncing to stream]' message, whereas WMP will take it up by default.

Ditto for http://www.streamaudio.com/stations/asx/kcmo_fm.asx

I would love to use WinAmp for listening to radio as I am used to it's controls.

Please advise.

Hi,

Both links open and play in Winamp fine for me.

Make sure you're running the latest version: 5.31. These are WMA streams so you need the Full version with WMA support.

Hi siebe83

Thanks for your reply.

I use only the Lite version. Are the WMA available as plug-ins rather than loading the heavier WinAmp versions?

Nope. WMA Support only comes with Full or Pro.

Download the free Full installer, select Lite on the Installation Type page (Screen 2 of the installer), then checkmark Windows Media Support under the Audio Support section of the installer options.

Thanks, I will download the Full version and follow your instructions.
