i used to use this free program with foobar to listen to internet radio:

but for some reason it stopped working. foobar still works with shoutcast.com, i uninstalled foobar and boombox, and reinstalled them both, and it still wont work. someone help please

At a rough guess, another application has stolen playlists file association from fb2k. Use fooassoc.exe (in foobar's dir) to make sure.
You might have to unassociate the other player first (eg in case media player classic runs instead of foobar: go to view>options>player>formats and uncheck "playlist file", then run fooassoc.exe and check "playlists").

Oh and at the end of the installation of this software, there is an "Install Grand Palace Poker blabla..." checkbox which I'd rather strongly suggest to uncheck

yes i know about the poker thing, its annoying but you can uncheck it, delete that installer from your desktop, and delete it from the start menu, and then you dont have to deal with it anymore, foobar is associated with PLS files still, i can even see the radio station flash over to foobar for an instant, then it disappears from the playlist on foobar. like i said, regular shoutcast still works fine :-/

i recorded a video of what happens, go to http://www.lunchfu*ck.net/Video.avi

its in xvid 4 format, and remove the * in the URL

come on! cant anyone help me?

Well you can uncheck that poker stuff but FYI it will still install a fake smss.dll in %windir% (and who knows what else)

"Good job penis pecan, the link is dead. Like you should be."


I think I'm feeling offended now.

Hmm I take it that people use weird 404 messages nowadays =)

IIRC the video was showing what he said: Both Foobar and BoomBox are opened, he double click a station in BoomBox, then it gets in Foobar's active playlist but disappears almost instantly
Note I tried to reproduce but everything did work fine.
