so for the life of me i cant get a shoutcast stream to be added to the audio player. I can save the link and open it as a playlist and open it through the audio player, but how in the heck to i add it as a stream? I've tried copying the "link" and adding it as a stream but it keeps saying the format is invalid

what gives?

can some one give me a step by step how to do this? or tell me what the links extension has to be in order to have the 770 see it as a stream?!

thanks for the help!

Shoutcast is proprietrary to Winamp.

I doesn't seem fair, but it really doesn't qualify as streaming audio...

Holler at Nullsoft. Tell them you have the coolest thing yet and they're missing-out...

I STAND CORRECTED>>>

so what website do people on here use for the audio player streams?

definately use shoutcast, it's perfect. find any station you like, open the file with the audio player, go to menu -->track --> add to favorites.
now the station is saved to the home internet radio app - works perfect.
hope this helps

I went out to SHOUTcast and I was able to run the audio streams on my 770.

I too tried this and replicated the pls not supported error in the audio player. After the third try, it just started working.

I can't speak for Shoutcast, but using Slimserver works great. Plus, you have a great control panel for selecting which music is playing that you can access via the browser.

Do you have the -8 version of the firmware? That is what I am using.

770 is awesome so far, have had 3 random hard resets and gaim takes about 4 mintues to load... other then that works great!

I was looking at this Slimserver sounds like a great application, do you only install it on your pc, or both pc and 770 ?
