I would imagine that the media player used on the BN is based on Pocket WMP. I do not even know if there is a pocket version of Winamp, but if there is, it would have to be installed and the BN does not allow for installation of third party software.

When it ask the question which format, you want to select windows media player, rather than winamp. At this time when it gives you the option of windows media player versus some other format, always opt for the windows media player, as it is more likely to work on the BrailleNote. I am not sure why there isn't support for winamp as of current, but that is the luxury of having two options, one will work and the other will not, or if you strike it rich, both will work. I hope that this information will help you with this stream and many more streams to come on down the road for you and your mPower.
