Walter, it doesn't work in Realplayer. Realplayer is being a bit naughty and
taking over this file extension when it doesn't really need to and can't
support the Shoutcast format.
I would also suggest that anyone with questions about Winamp and/or MBSFM
either subscribe to the pc-audio list by sending a blank e-mail to
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
or write me privately. We're straying a little off topic here and I don't
want to give Nick any more headaches. I'd be only too willing to help where
I can. Shoutcast streaming audio is truly brilliant when you have things set
up properly. You'll wonder why you put up with Realplayer for so long.
