Hi, Let me get this straight, you are running a shoutcast server? You have someone using your server to stream and you want to listen to it? If this is the case, all you have to do is run your favourite media player like Winamp and type in the IP address along with the port number of the machine that your shoutcast server is running from. don't use your external internet ip address, you will need to use the local ip address of the actual machine your server is running from such as <http://192.168.0.2:8000> http://192.168.0.2:8000 etc. With regards to recording the stream, you can get winamp to record the stream by configuring the Nullsoft MPEG Audio Decoder 4.04 [in_mp3.dll] found in your input plugins section. Just look for the streaming tab.
