sc_serv found introfile at startup but get error message when try to play

[JimTrail]

Hello;

I am having difficulty getting the introfile to play. When I try to play the introfile with the RealPlayer I get the following message:

RealPlayer says this:

The clip cannot be played.
It contains unexpected data and may be corrupt.

The directory path is ok I think.

I am pretty sure that I have got the directory path to the introfile right. The startup found the introfile on my PC when I started the sc_serv from the command line. Here's the line from the logfile:

<01/14/09@11:46:03> [main] introfile: c:\My Documents\radio\shoutcast\intro24.mp3

Here is a line from the logfile showing that there is an error trying to open the introfile:

<01/14/09@11:30:28> [client: c:\My Documents\radio\shoutcast\intro24.mp3] Error opening intro file

I have saw from other threads in this forum that the samplerate/bitrate is an issue with the introfile. I don't know if that is my problem or not. If it is I don't see how to set the right samplerate/bitrate.

I have got the 5.31 version of Winamp. At the Encoder I have got the settings at 24kbps, 22.050kHz, Mono. I think that this is the bitrate. But I don't see anywhere how to set the samplerate.

Does anybody have any suggestions about how I can solve my problem?

Thanks.
