Try one or more of the following...

Clear the internet cache
MS Internet Explorer
Tools > Internet Options... > General tab > click Delete Files button under "Temporary Internet Files"
-or-
Control Panel > Internet Options icon > General tab > click Delete Files button under "Temporary Internet Files"

Make sure playlist files are associated with Winamp
Ctrl+P (for preferences) > General Preferences > File types > make sure pls and m3u are highlighted > make sure 'Restore file associations at Winamp start-up' is checkmarked > close & restart Winamp

Do you have a firewall?
Is the firewall configured to allow Winamp proper or full access.

Ctrl+P (for preferences) > General Preferences > (optional) Specify HTTP proxy address: 'server:port'
example: username:password@server:port

If the proxy info does not hold...

Hi,

I'm having the same problem as fabio since 27th feb. Yesterday I didn't have this problem.

Maybe there's something wrong with the radio and tv servers

I've been having the same problem as the users outlined above, as well.

Every time I would try to access the play-list for Internet TV, I'd get receive an "[Error] connecting to server". This is odd, because when I tried to get the same list for internet streaming radio, it loaded up fine. I figured it might be because I was using a somewhat dated version of WinAmp 5. (I believe it was 5.0666, or something to that effect.) So, I upgraded to WinAmp 5.2, to see if that would have any effect.

Now, when I try to access it, I don't receive any errors when connecting to the server; however, there are no servers listed. This is strange, because I can go into my "Recently played files", and find that the streams I was using just a day ago are indeed still up and running. Is there something wrong with the servers used for listing this content, or am I simply unlucky?

edit: Upon further investigation, this issue appears to be in direct correlation to the SHOUTcast YP servers being down. So, I will take the advice of others, and simply "be patient".

There seem to be problems with the Shoutcast server at present.

"Unable to connect to Winamp DB server
MySQL Error: 1040 Too many connections
Session halted"

Maybe try again later.
