Shoutcast stations have 2 URLs.  The Shoutcast plugin gives you a
standard one that looks like this:
http://www.shoutcast.com/sbin/tunein.pls?id=12345&filename=playlist.pls

This link sends you a pls playlist file that contains 1 or more actual
links to the stream.  If you add to favorites from the list of
stations, your favorite will include the tunein.pls link.  If you add
the favorite from Now Playing after you've started listening, you'll
get the real stream link.  Either type of link should continue to work.
Sometimes stations will change their stream links, but I expect that's
not a very common occurrence.

You did mention you're using 6.2.2 which includes an outdated Shoutcast
plugin that may no longer work properly.  If you're concerned about this
you may want to try playing Shoutcast via SqueezeNetwork or downloading
a 6.3 nightly build.
