This is my first post, so 'Hello', wicked forum.

You can set an MP3 to stream by uploading your mp3 to your webspace, so for example it is accessable by the url http://www.yourwebsite.com/audio.mp3

if you then open notepad, and on the first line type in the url of the mp3 (eg// http://www.yourwebsite.com/audio.mp3) and save the file as 'audio.m3u'

upload this resultant .m3u file to your webspace, and link to that from the link you want to start the stream (eg// link to http://www.yourwebsite.com/audio.m3u), this should work, at least in winamp.

Hi Mate - recognise your id from overload forum.

Thanks for the advice - I have tested it with a straightforward mp3 file, wmp seems to pick it up ok, I presume whatever program you use for mp3 should kick in automatically?
