Cnyl, things are working ok for me. Is this a new problem, or have you never been able to stream?

If you're on Windows you might check Start-Settings-Control Panel- Folder option-file types - and scroll to the m3u and mp3 file types to make sure they're associated with the correct application. Windows Media Player works OK here, but I did once change to another player to try something different and couldn't get it to stream, so it's possible some players have issues with streaming.

Switching players might be good idea. I've had several issues with Windows Media that even their people couldn't figure out..plus the sound is terrible. Try winamp...In the eight months I've had it I've never had a problem.

Brooksy,

I have been working on the streaming application to make it more accurate (limiting song plays by the same person). During my work there was about 10 minutes that songs would not stream. Everything should be back to normal now.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

limit the streaming, or just limit the counting of the streaming?

The counts...LOL Laughing

I should have said that better...
