25 censored letters?

Hmm...

the only 25-letter word I can find is Sowthistledesertdandelion.

Colonel, how do you react to your radio station being referred to as Sowthistledesertdandelion?

I still can't get it to work...

The only way I can get it to work is to go to Shoutcast and search for his station then play it. I can't get it from the links in his sig.

http://www.shoutcast.com/directory/index.phtml

Search for colonels station = play cantr

I am sorry you guys are having problems. I will look into it and see what can be done.

=========
Here is some info:

=====PROBLEMS LISTENING

L1. Help! I get audio skipping when I listen!

Answer: Your connection to the Internet is too slow to handle the amount of data
that particular SHOUTcast station is sending. Try looking through the SHOUTcast
directory for stations with a lower value in the bitrate column. You can also
select your connection type on the SHOUTcast directory (modem, DSL, etc.) and
the directory will present stations most likely to work on your type of connection.

L2. I'm having problems tuning in with RealPlayer

Answer: RealPlayer does not support the full gamut of SHOUTcast stations. For
optimal listening, download and install the Winamp audio player for Windows
(http://www.winamp.com) or one of the other recommended players listed in
the shoutcast.com online documentation.

L3. I've installed Winamp but RealPlayer keeps stealing SHOUTcast.
How do I get Winamp to play SHOUTcast tracks?

Answer: RealPlayer is more aggressive at positioning itself than Winamp for
control of streaming media. The problem is RealPlayer performs poorly at
tuning in SHOUTcast channels. The solution is to disable Real's SmartCenter
by right-clicking on the real icon in your system tray (bottom right hand
corner of the Windows screen) and select Disable Smartcenter. Install the
latest version of Winamp once you've done this, and Winamp will have control
of the stations again.

You know Colonel, you can't have your link looking at your IP address, because it changes every time you connect to the internet, or when your proxy does some junk, whatever. The point is, that IP address you're advertising could change, and you'd have to update your website again and again with the new IP. SHOUTcast, when it detects your stream, automatically changes its link to point at your current IP address, so SHOUTcast is never wrong

Well yes. And that is what I was doing wrong.

That will change in the next few weeks though so everyone will be happier, I hope.

So guys just go to the shoutcast web page and search for Colonel's Station = Play Cantr II
until I get it fixed, sorry.

Now the shoutcast page is not working so you will have to keep trying. But I promise you that it will be worth the wait. I have just finished something that I think all of you will enjoy and once everything is working I will play it for you all.
