An Odd Request

PHB

I'm looking for a website, any website really, that uses online streaming from winamp only.
The only thing about the website is that it needs to be somewhat justifiably related to educational purposes

Any help would be much appriciated,
Dave.

Hmmm, I've no suggestions due to the whole winamp thing... streaming: yes ... educational: yes ... winamp: wuh?! No.

dont really understand what you mean, but you used to be able to stream the music from the station (fragfm.co.uk) through winamp ( file -> open url ).

hope that helped

Eh, just use ANY streaming website, and select Winamp as your default player. Winamp doesn't have it's own specific file extension, so you'll need to specifiy winamp to play the other files.

Yeh, thanks, I understand that
What I'm looking for is a vaguely educational website that streams things through winamp. There's a reason I want it to be vaguely educational

Do you mean Shoutcast streams? Because thats the only thing I can think of which would fit the bill of "stream through Winamp".

Failing that, you're going to have to doa better job explaining what you want.

Shoutcast streams would work, but lots of live video is also streamed through winamp. Just like there is live radio, there is also live news. However, I need to find an vaguely educational site, which offers winamp streams.

So... would I be right in saying that you're looking for a vaguely educational website that streams things through winamp?

I could do with him clarifying that actually, the last 4 posts didn't quite get the message across...

Most media sites seem to have a love affair with RealPlayer for some reason or another.

Indeed, and that's the problem. Winamp is limited in general usage, which is why I can't find one myself. Was hoping that someone might know of one.

Agreed - my post pretty much summed up his query...so he asked the exact same question again!

...is sex-educational OK ..?
Spit it out, man.
Re-register if you need to hide your I.D. - but spit it out.



(oh dear...)

PHB

No, I'm trying to get past a firewall, and I can get a special privledge if I can justify it, so it needs to be somewhat educational

Karoma

Figured...but...why? They'll probably only open it to that one site.

ChRoMe

id imagine they will just unblock the port

Heard about one at MIT (Mass. Institute of Technology) in the USA, but have not visited it myself.

Is vaguely educational a euphemism for porn?
