Winamp hints

Sometimes people are motivated to use Winamp. Apparently it can be done, but having tried it, not recommending it because it is easy to crash, lose playlists and rudimentary fading between tracks is quite difficult, though maybe it's not impossible. Start with this article, and focus on the Winamp paragraphs. These are Winamp version 5 screenshots, which would be Shoutcast version 1 only. You need to enter into the Shoutcast DSP three specific pieces of information from your stream host that looks like the following:

IP address
64.34.170.176

Port
15036

Password
bogus1



And you need to set up your selected encoder properly, as in this example:

MP3 Encoder
128KBPS, 44.1KHz, Stereo
