Requesting music via HTTP?

14th September 2000, 05:13

I would like to know if any Shoutcast Experts have an idea on how to generate a playlist for Winamp via web page requests?

Meaning, that a user comes to my web site, selects a song that gets dumped into a playlist (or folder) that Winamp will stream. The stream will be the same for all listeners, but an individual can pick a song from a list and that song would get added to the Winamp playlist. Just like calling the radio station with a long distance dedication.

I have some ASP/HTML/Database experience and probably could code it if I knew how Winamp needs to receive a playlist (other than manually creating one from Winamp).

Is this possible? If I were given a push in the right direction I will glady share the source with anyone. By the way, this is for personal use as my server & ISP can't support more than 1 user at the bitrate I listen to.

Any ideas would be appreciated.
