OK, let's not talk about the fact that Winamp simply tries the next stream in the list and the next until it finds one it can connect to. Time elapsed till connect and playing can be as long as 60 seconds, but once it plays it never drops. I'm currently playing http://205.188.215.225:8006 but I started by tuning to http://www.shoutcast.com/sbin/tunein-station.pls?id=3201 andyg;168400 Wrote: > Let's focus on your other issue where the stream does play and then > stops.

The left hand figure varies from around 6 or 8 or even 9, and plays for a little while - maybe seconds, maybe minutes, then starts dropping off. When it reaches 0, the 10.0 to the right of the / starts dropping too, and the dropouts begin. Once both figures get close to or reach 0.0, play stops. Sometimes rebuffering starts for a while but typically stops at around 30-45% and then budges no more. I can't reproduce this on the same stream as above since I can never connect, but SomaFM Groove Salad typically behaves as I describe. Well, except for like now, I can't even start the stream, it just sits at "Now playing 1 of 12" and the buffer sits at 0.0/0.0. I found the URL by doing a search in the Shoutcast list in SS on SomaFM: http://www.shoutcast.com/sbin/tunein-station.pls?id=9239&filename=playlist.pls Winamp tuned in about 15 seconds, and plays without a problem.
