Two questiobs about the Shoutcast streaming program.

trexter · 1st May 2003, 10:08

1. How do I do to run this program in the background?

2. I want to play my own mp3 files while streaming other ones to the radio station server. Is this possible?
I don't always feel like listening to the song beeing streamed at the moment but the ones which I like myself.

My english may be a bit incorrect in some places, wrote this in a hasty.

1. Do you want to (a) run the DNAS or (b) run the Winamp/DSP combo in the background (that is, minimize the DSP)?

If (a), check out the results from a SHOUTcast forum search on 'install windows service'.

Look for a post by antiorganic titled:
NT Service

Note: Other search criteria may yield more results.

If (b), you can't minimize the DSP. You can, though, drag the DSP to the edge of your screen so only a sliver is visible.

2. Use multiple instances of Winamp and use the Null Output Plugin* on the Winamp with your stream.

* With Winamp the Active application, CTRL+P -> Plugin-ins -> Output
If it's not there, get it at http://classic.winamp.com and search the plug-ins for "Null output" (without the quotes).

How do I open serveral Winamps?

FesterHead · 1st May 2003, 19:43

With Winamp the active appliction:
CTRL+P -> Options -> check "Allow multiple instances" checkbox.

I don't get it. I've checked the checkbox but still can't pkay two songs at the same time.

Using WinXp Home Edition.

Did you get to open multiple instances?

trexter · 1st May 2003, 20:25

No, if I play a song and then want to play another one at the same time, it just ends the first one and starts playing the second one.

FesterHead · 1st May 2003, 20:26

Once you've checked the multiple instances, you have to then open another instance.

That is, run Winamp twice.

No, I may misunderstand you but I still get the same result.
