Alternative to WinAmp for shoutcast?

sonicclub · 5th April 2003, 18:31

I am having a slight problem here. I had this other computer to host my site and SHOUTcast station on, but since it was messing up my DSL connection I had to disconnect it. I want to host SHOUTcast on this computer, but it's one that I use a lot, and since WinAmp 2 is my favorite media player (I don't like WinAmp 3 as much), there would be a conflict when I open stuff, I know there probably isn't a way tp use WinAmp 3 to stream, maybe there is a different program like WinAmp, if someone knows, please tell me. I want to get my station up and going again and still be able to use WinAmp 2 for listening to music. Thanks.

You can I think run 2 instances of wianmp, go to options/preferences/options and tick: allow multiple instances, that might work for you, one to stream with & 1 to listen with.

Dang it...I really thought that would work. My problem though is I don't open WinAmp before playing files, I double click files, and it of course opens in the player that is open, which was the one I wanted SHOUTcast to run in. That was a good idea, but it didn't work...Does anyone else have ideas?

I tried to find multiple instances in versions of Winamp older than Winamp3 and couldn't find it. I'm assuming that they didn't integrate the feature before 3.

In response to the question, if you right click the file, you should have an "Open With..." option, just pick a different application to open your media files.

Preferences (Ctrl-P) > Options > "Allow multiple instances"

or Ctrl-Alt-N
