Music Not
Playing or Don't Know What to Do?
Media Players
If you don't
have any of the players loaded on your computer you will need
to download one of the players from the download page. (It
Is FREE) Winamp is the best media player in my
opinion.
If
you don't want to bother with this, windows has
the media player already installed on your
computer, just select media player button to play.

Buffering
Problem:
If
you connection occasionally is buffering your
connection has slowed down. This means that there
a lot of people in your area using up the bandwidth.
If you are in an office setting this will happen
when a lot of people are on your companies
internet connection. You can also try the other
stream provider either America's or Europe.

Fixing
Problems connecting to your SHOUTCast radio and
you have a Router:
If
you can't get other ppl to connect to your server
because your ip address is something like
192.168.1.100, that is because that is a private
networking number, and about 1000k ppl have that
same ip. What you need to do is
1. See what your
Ip
Address is.
2. Go to ur router settings
3. Find your "Forwarding" options.
4. Find something like Service Port Range and
change that to 8000 ~ 8000 (Default port number
for SHOUTCast)
5. Now change the internal network ip address
(e.g. 192.168.1.___) to 192.168.1.100 (Or whatever
your ip address on the private network is.)*
6. Hit Apply
You should be done. This worked for me. Now for
the number to get to your SHOUTCast?? Go to
here
and see what that number says your ip address is.
Then, type http://urip:urportnumber/listen.pls**
Note the ** is for information, not part of the
url.
* To find this out, for Windows 95, 98, or ME(not
sure on ME) click Start>Run> Type winipcfg>
Ok> Make sure your Ethernet Card is selected
(e.g. CardBus 10/100 Fast Ethernet Adapter) and
then the number is there under IP Address. For
WINDOWS 2000 PRO (not sure if it's the same on
Home version) Start> Programs>
Accessories> Command Prompt> Type ipconfig>
It's beside IP Address -That should be all
** http://
is required and it is also case sensitive (This
won't work e.g 192.168.1.100/Listen.pls wouldn't
work nor will this e.g. 192.168.1.100/listen.pls)
Music Requests
You are able to request
5 songs per 90 minutes, 25 per day. The song should play
within 5 to 10 minutes after request. Some times
it won't play the request for some reason, I am
looking into this. Please do
not abuse this privilege, the software will not
take your requests. (For Example If you keep requesting the
same song 2 of 3 times in a row.). If kicked off
you can email me to get back on.
