[icecast] Client Woes

[Thomas Vander Stichele]

You should ook around in Realplayer's configuration setting.
The problem is probably that you as a user, installed Realplayer, and
clicked yes every time without looking through what it was going to do.
So now you need to manually remove the association of .m3u files to
realplayer and make sure winamp opens them.  It's possible you can do this
from realplayer, but maybe that's been removed from it in the meantime.

The best way to do it is open explorer, go to File, Options (The options
menu has moved in Win2000, btw, so just find it somewhere), and there's an
option somewhere there which allows you to associate file extensions with
programs.

Find the .m3u extension (possibly only possible by description, which will
be something like playlist file), and chinge it to start winamp instead of
realplayer.
