further to an earlier thread, are there any Winamp music radio stations that forum readers would recommend?

[they all seem to be windows media and they dont work in winamp and i have to make dammed shortcuts all over my desktop cos i cant work the playlist feature ]

Earlier thread: http://forum.digitalspy.co.uk/board/...threadid=17945

All these sites below have standard MP3 streams (ie not proprietary Windoze or Real formats). These will play in any recent player, but winamp is probably the best one to use.

sadly, at the moment, winamp will stream so much then just say ICY401 Not Available or other error codes like [Error syncing to mpeg]..... if I do get on the stream, it will play so much, then buffer again, then play about ten seconds more, then buffer again..... sometimes the buffer stays on 0 and it moves onto the next track

any ideas? i have cleared all programmes that may be using the internet at the time but it still gets stuck like this

seems like the horribly designed Windows Media Player will have to do

What internet connection do you have? Most MP3 streams have too high a bitrate for a 56k dialup - they sound much better than WMP streams though.

Try this one: http://www.oneword.co.uk/play.plsx

It runs at 24k, so it should be fine on a dial-up

as my side panel says, i have 512k broadband

ive just tried DRUMDUST.COM (top audio stream) but it doesnt work again... it plays so much and then stops

im on the winamp DSL / CABLE connection

EDIT: ill try the 56k one

There is a plugin available to play www.spinner.com 's 200+ channels. It works well here. Here's a link to find out about it; http://musiclivesonline.com/trackers/spinamp.htm. Enjoy!
