I cant get the shoutcast stream to work. What's wrong?
The beauty of an mp3 stream is that it works for all the major platforms (Mac, Windows, Linux).
But to be able to listen, you need a player. For windows, use WinAmp, iTunes or Windows Media Player.
For Mac OSX, use iTunes or Audion. For Linux, try XMMS. Shoutcast streams over port 80 so firewalls
should not be an issue. Try upgrading your player or downloading one of the ones i've just mentioned.

I can't get iTunes to play your stream. Why?
Depending on your OS and the versions of players, you may need to use the
shoutcast.pls link. If that
doesn't open up iTunes, then you can try the following:
1. Open iTunes.
2. Go to Advanced >> Open Stream
3. Try to copy/paste one of these URLs into the box and click OK:
