I am trying to copy a bunch of shoutcast radio stations
from winamp to MC 10. Any way to do it other than doing
each one by hand ?

thanks

Can Winamp export the shoutcast radio stations as XML?  If so, it is trivial to transform them into an MPL which can be imported directly into MC.

Only thing i found is the ability to export a playlist  and
importing that PL into MC does not quite do the job.
So I am basically copying and pasting from the PL into
individual entries into MC. If I spent some time to figure
out I probably could tweak the exported playlist so that
MC could read it correctly.

It would be really nice to have a plug-in that was
able to download the shoutcast stations like winamp
does.  This would really push MC over the top in my
mind (and may be digital TV support).

Give me a sample exported playlist and I can create a transform that converts it into MPL (which is what MC needs).

Export your Winamp playlist in m3u format. Like this:

#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:-1,Paul Young, Everytime You Go Away (CLUB 977 The 80s Channel (HIGH BANDWIDTH))
http://64.236.34.67:80/stream/1040
#EXTINF:-1,O.S.I.R.I.S. - Oneness with the Universe (wippenberg remix) (D I G I T A L L Y - I M P O R T E D - Vocal Trance - a fusion of trance, dance, and chilling vocals together!)
http://64.236.34.4:80/stream/1065
#EXTINF:-1,Al Jarreau - Cold Duck (Smoothjazz.Com - The worlds best Smooth Jazz - Live From Monterey Bay)
http://64.236.34.4:80/stream/1005

Then just drag the .m3u file to the empty Playing Now window in MC and make a new playlist in MC.

here is a snippet from the playlist file. unfortunately it does
not have the genre information, which  seems to be available
when the radio station lists are downloaded by winamp. I guess
that is lost when the station is added to a playlist.

#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:-1,(#1 - 58/100) StaticBeats

#EXTINF:-1,(#1 - 36/85) Sleepbot Environmental Broadcast --- -- - sleep sleep sleep - -- ---
http://67.19.78.90:8096
#EXTINF:-1,(#2 - 23/40) Sleepbot Environmental Broadcast --- -- - sleep sleep sleep - -- ---
http://207.152.135.11:8000
-------------------------------------------------

the station name and the genre are the two things we need
to have at minimum i think.  I think they probably use a set
of keywords to describe the station in the station list.

i did try that originally..but Only information MC keeps is the
stream URL and everything else is lost. It would be nice to at
least get the genre and station name.
