You need to get your http: address of the stream(s) into a textfile and save it. Like so: `[playlist] numberofentries=3 File1=http://zoo.inlive.co.kr:8080 Title1=Server #1 ((( Blue FM -- Easy Listening Instrumental ))) Length1=-1 File2=File2=http://149.255.33.70:8080 Title2=Server #2 (((( U.S. Server ))) Length2=-1 File3=http://149.255.33.73:8080 Title3=Server #3 (((( http://bluefm.net/listen.pls ))) Length3=-1 Version=2` Then simply point AmigaAmp to the .pls and open it, the rest will do the program by itself in a (personal opinion) safer and faster way then other Streamcast players.

I tried setting via tooltype and prefs. What format of skins do we need? I had a similar problem with skins when i tested 3.4. Leave the tooltypes alone (read: put all tooltypes in () ) and set everything you need in the Prefs program. AmigaAmp doesn't like to be overridden by tooltypes Here it works perfect. Skin Usage: Rule of thumb: All Skins can be used as long as they come in .wsz packages (so rather all the "old" ones without fancy alpha blending/masking)

Of course you can save settings to tooltypes from a prefs program. That way your settings goes with the executable if one wants to move it from one partition to another. And you don't have to bother with sub directories or the end user trying to remember which ENVARC: the settings were in. With tooltypes you don't need a separate prefs program. Amiga is not Windows. Amiga is unique.

I guess this is yet another reason why installation scripts are required for almost any application.

That way your settings goes with the executable if one wants to move it from one partition to another. ... and your settings can easily get overwritten if you update the program and incidentally replace the icon as well. Happened to me many times, and I consider myself an experienced Amiga user. As you see, there is no "perfect" solution to storing settings, each way has its advantages and disadvantages. Quote: And you don't have to bother with sub directories or the end user trying to remember which ENVARC: the settings were in. There is no need for the user to remember anything. ENV: and ENVARC: is internal stuff which the AmigaAmp Prefs program hides from the user completely.

I guess this is yet another reason why installation scripts are required for almost any application. There was absolutely no need to delete the settings file! If you look at the System tab in the Prefs, the file pattern is configurable. You could have added the "M4A" there.

That will be pretty handy, because i see how many of them done for tunenet, and that tunenet seems not developed anymore , while amigaamp is. Besides, someone can prefer amigaamp over tunenet too.
