Right, There's a big thread going on about this whole situation on the
Winamp.com forums.
Basically, broadcasters are pissed because they broadcast in a genre that
can't be seen due to the limits Aol has placed on the number of stations,
and listeners are pissed because they don't like having to search for the
stations via shoutcast.com, and a lot of times they can't find stations
that they know for a fact are there.
So in effect both listeners and broadcasters both lose out on this. I can
understand placing a limit on the number of stations, but 1000 just seems
like such a small number, given the amount of stations available out there
now. If it was me, I'd say 5000 is a good number, but I don't work for
AOL/Nullsoft, so I can't make any decisions like that.
Hi James, we've all had that these days. As has been mentioned, it seems that AOL is limiting the number because of bandwidth and they say it's "temporary." So we just live with this for now and hopefully this'll get resolved.

Is anybody else experiencing the following?
In Shoutcast Radio, you don't get all the streams, even though you have your program to receive all of them? I.E., you have Winamp to receive 15000 streams, but you look and see only 1000 and you KNOW that there's over 9000 to be had? Is this a cliché with this latest version?
