Does anyone here use shoutcast to find stations? I can't get it to work again (after an interval of several months) in either Exaile or Rhythmbox.
When I try and download the Shoutcast station list nothing happens, or at least nothng gets downloaded.
A while ago, AOL's Shoutcast moved its directory from yp.shoutcast.com to www.shoutcast.com and changed the format into a needlessly-javascript-and-cookie-using user-interface disaster so I guess you'll need to upgrade anything that downloads station lists.
One alternative station list is http://dir.xiph.org/ but it's different and not as big as shoutcast.
Hope that helps,
