Hello People:

I have a radio station that currently uses shoutcast for stream and im streaming using AAC+, that for me is the 9th wonder of the world. Anyhow, I managed to get windows media player to work with it using a plugin and winamp works perfectly without anything else except the program.

Now I want to be able to offer the same thing for Realplayer's users and MAC users.

Is there anything that can be used to offer the MAC & realplayers the possibility to listen my station?

The link to the station is www.theperfectmixfm.com

Thanks

Eros

Hello. I'm quite new to radiostations, but I've done some testing.
I have a problem:
I currently stream a AAC+ stream, and I pick it up loud and clear in Foobar2000. But with the newest winamp it jst says "connecting.." and nothing happens.

One thing I'm uncertain about is what type of file my stream should be. I'm using .ogg, but I see other channels that use .pls

I use newest winamp with newest oddcast plug-in to stream, and a local Icecast2 server.

Any good advice?
Thanks...

Oksavik,
What did you name the mountpoint for your aacplus stream?
You need to use /stream.aac or /stream.aacp (personally I would use aacp, and leave aac for lc-aac streams). It sounds to me like you are trying to stream aacplus with a ogg mountpoint, which winamp will try to decode with the vorbis plugin.

Uninstall Winamp, delete its folder completely, and install again. This worked for me.

Thanks alot! This fixed all my problems. Now it seems to work like it should!

Also thanks to jmartis, reinstalling is sound advice, but I had a feeling it was my fault, not the software! smile.gif
