Though I keep it on the low, I'm a digital music freak. I've been using Winamp 2.something for it's Shoutcast list, which let me look up Shoutcast stations by genre. I found some really good stations, tried (and enjoyed) new genres I'd have never tried if I had to pay for stuff I never heard before…life was good until the Shoutcast list stopped working.
Last time that happened, it was to support the current 2.something version of Winamp. The function originally belonged to version 3, which sucked pretty bad. So I head over to www.winamp.com and find they've skipped version 4 altogether and released version 5.
Well, it's cuter, sounds the same and gives you the option of NOT polluting your desktop with AOL install icons, but the damn Shoutcast list still isn't working. If it's not working by Sunday night I may uninstall it put version 2.something back.
I need to get a high speed connection before I can really enjoy listening to stuff online. Over my dial-up connection, it's mostly an exercise in frustration.

I'm using version 2.90 that has the media library built in, but that's apparently not available for download anymore. Versions 3 and 5 are too damn fat...and 5 just feels like an AOL thing.
