Amiga / Winamp / Shoutcast

[unite]

Does anyone know if the amigas version of winamp (can't remember its name) supports the winamp pluggins in particular the shoutcast pluggin.  

I'm seriously thinkin of selling my PC and going for a nice A1200 or A4000 with all the bells and whistles (if anyone fancies a swap I'm in Belfast, Northern Ireland) but I do a fair bit of online radio and need to be able to use shoutcast. I suspose another this is would the amiga even be capable of it???

Or would my existing A1200 with 50mb ram and 68030 be capable of it???

Amiga can't run Windows x86 binaries, so no, you can't use WinAMP plugins.

Keep your PC.

Both AmigaAMP and Amplifier support internet radio.
Though I recommend getting a faster cpu.

There's a program called aminetradio which plays audio shoutcast files.  It works better with morphOS though.  I haven't gotten it to play continuously with my current setup, I guess it needs more power than an 060!

What Piru is saying is hold on to the Pc or upgrade, then wait till (if ever) there are programs ported to amiga till then if possible, continue building on your sys

Chow! :-D

I you want a more lightweight program for internet
radio, I recommend "Streamer".
Especially when you use it in combination with a
MAS-player.
I still recommend getting a faster cpu though.

@Zyphoid

AmigaAmp has a button to load an URL (The Add button).
Amplifier can load .pls files. Goto shoutcast.com,
save a radiostations playlist to your hd and load it with
amplifier. Or Assign .pls files to Amplifier in your MIMe
settings of your browser.
