You have to set a mime type for the server, and then develop a .mu3 file, I believe. But that could be just for playing a set list. It's been a long time since I investigated this.

Have you tried searching for this on google? How about getting into the Radio listings?

I would stick to the default media programs if I was you, winamp isnt the greatest program out, I've always had problems with it and now never use/have it.

I'll have a look for you. As I said I dont have much exp. in this so if anyone else knows how if at all you can force an mp3 app to start?
I know you can make an app start through Windows Scripting Host like this:

<?php
through an ASP page
<%

dim wsh
set wsh = createobject(\"WScript.Shell\")
wsh.run(\"c:\winnt\notepad.exe\")
?>

Problem is you would have to know the path of the app.

No I'm not trying to force it. This is an internet radio station. The web site that accompanys it currently has instructions on how to listen if people want to.
What I want is to as a part of those instructions have link that people can click on, so the stream can automatically open on their mp3 player. As its set up now people have to open their mp3 player on their own, then type in the streams address manually.

I would assume that the default player of the client would start up when called for.
That being said though I haven't ever tried to force an mp3 stream on people. Most times I have ever seen it done was after a request from the browser. Are you wanting it to almost start as bg music to the site, as all those awful midi files did years ago?
