Hi Penny, the only way you would be able to save a station so
that it will play in winamp is to first have winamp being the player
that the stream calls to play it, based upon the file types which are
selected, so, keep that in mind when saving which ever radio stations
you save.

Hi Penny, as far as I know, files with the .asx extension will not play
in winamp, and the .asf file extension was included some versions back,
but it doesn't work, so I have unchecked the .asf file type in
preferences under file types, so I guess you'll have to use media
player to play .asx files.

I have a huge list of stations with the ASX extension and
they allow me to save them and I play them in my windows media player.
But I do not know how to get winamp stations to play; I don't know
how to save their links or how to get them to play. I know this is
silly on my part. but the winamp ASX things just seemed to come
naturally; and now I'd like to expand to things that can only be
played in winamp, but do not know how.
Maybe it's because I don't know how to use winamp hardly at all.
I used to get to their radio thing and there were some stations, but
most of them were horrid. I am very old, Victorian, etc. So I like
classical music, old stuff, and Christian radio that is not
contemporary.
Help appreciated as to how to use winamp. if it is too difficult to
explain, I'll gladly call someone or let him or her call me for a
little go round.
