Wow sorry ken you have lost me there, Im streaming from my computer in xp, so I put in http://myipaddresshere.thentheporthere. dont know what the admin.cgi is or what password is or what mode it is, in a web browser?, could you explain it step by step.

Thanks.

Sure. Copy that link to your address bar in IE (or whatever). Now change everything in capitals to what it is in situation.

For example:
say i'm on the pc with the shoutcast server. that means the IP would be 127.0.0.1. The port is 8000 (which is what it'll be if you haven't changed it). In the shoutcast config, say I changed the admin password to 123abc. i want the now playing to say: "teh coolest". I plug it all in and get this link:

http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin.cgi?pass=123abc&mode=updinfo&song=teh%20coolest

I made everything I had to change red. (in case it confused u, %20 is how you add a space)
