2 simple quesions

imcwilliams · 3rd March 2002, 17:09

I have 2, hopeully, simple questions. I hunted around the other postings to see if I could find the answers but I could not find anything. Before I dowloaded winamp2 plugin update, the artist and title of the song would appear in the playlist next to the name of he radio station i was listening to. My 2questions are 1. How do I get the artist and title to reappear next to the station name since the station name is still there. 2. Is there anyway to change the station name that is displayed. I canged the name in the bokmark so i would recognize the station, however it displays the station name in the playlist as it was when I originally bookmarked it.
Thank you.

Take a look at the options in in_mp3.dll config.

Prefs (Ctrl+P) -> Input -> MPEG Audio Decoder -> config -> streaming tab:
1) Enable shoutcast title streaming
2) Include stream name in title

Try checking/unchecking these. You might need only one of or both of them enabled. This should hopefully answer both of your questions.
Problem #1 should be easy to fix, but I'm not sure if it'll work for #2

btw, I find it strange that you say the problem only began after you installed wa2update, because the patch doesn't include an in_mp3.dll update.

Thank you. that did work, at least for my first question. As for my aecond question, it didn't work and is not that big of a deal. But if you do come across an answer, please let me know. Again, thank you for your help.
