Macintosh help

[techy]

Okay, I think I see the confusion. The shoutcast stream or http://cyberjamz.com:8000/listen.pls only works when a shoutcast user is streaming. If you were tuning in in the windows media link wm.cyberjamz.com/live then it would not be repeated on the shoutcast server and that link would be dead.

The [live.php] link is supposed to send the appropriate metafile to your browser and then fire up the WindowsMedia player. I think it might depend on how your browser handles headers and redirects however and most likely, some MAC broswers might not pass the correct headers to download the correct metafile. The only way to remedy this is to have the links posted (as they are in the help section) and then be manually input in the media player of your choice and the OS in question.

But ultimately, a windows media only system would be the cure-all for this situation. It's just VERY hard to get folks to abandon thier MAC's and switch to a modern Windows PC to stream to the main cj server.

But thanks very much for your feedback and I hope my explanations clarify the nuts and bolts of the cyberJAMZ framework

Last night I found only the link: wm.cyberjamz.com/live to work on my OS 10.3 and OS 10.4 Macs. The cyberjamz:8000 did nothing in iTunes or Quicktime (I tried a ton of variations on the link too), and your main link is not recognized by neither Mac's version of windows media player nor flip4mac.

Hope that helps with your development and thanks for providing a great source for real music!
