What's Vishy listening to?
I have a highly eclectic taste in music. I find it hard to point to one genre of music and say it is my favorite. I'll listen to just about anything except rap and hiphop. I go through several "song possession" attacks, when a song completely takes over my waking moments and plays itself over and over in my head. At these times, I IM most people on my buddy list and send them the song that is possessing me. However, this is a grossly inefficient system because I have to send songs to multiple people. Wouldn't it be great if people could just connect to my computer and listen to what I am currently listening to?
I downloaded and installed a SHOUTcast server instance on my computer. If you have Winamp, you can listen to a random selection of what I am listening to at the moment.
Just do the following:
Right click on Winamp. From the Play menu, choose Location.... In the input field, enter "quantumplate.servemp3.com:8000"
I give absolutely no service level guarantees, but chances are you'll hear something being played if you point Winamp to this location.
