I don't know what I did or what I accidently clicked on, but suddenly Winamp wont display the song titles and other info anymore, just the url. I tried doing a reinstall (WITHOUT deleting the winamp folder since I don't want to try to find all my input/output plugins again) with no luck. Is there a setting somewhere where I can turn this stuff back on?

Do you have a firewall? I think you need to make sure port 8000 and 8890 are opened.

I just opened them but I still cant see the song titles. I havent touched my router in a while and the song titles were working fine with it a few weeks ago.

That's a good one. Could it be something on the radio server? Could also be a hosed plugin. I don't know much about Winamp

I'm not sure, but I think that is configured at the server.
If you're recieving the stream, you shouldn't need to open any firewall ports or anything.
All I can suggest is try a different client. Depending on what protocol its using, some other media players like WMP or Sonique (and perhaps even foobar2000) can recieve the stream as well. If the title shows up in any of those apps, then I'd say something is weird with your Winamp install.

Did you recently download a new skin?

Ok I got it fixed. Actually it was an input plugin that was being used to play/steam my music instead of the default mpeg plugin, which doesn't seem to support titles for streams, so I uninstalled that plugin and it works. Thanks to the people that tried to help me :)
