zane99: Your SHOUTcast stream host will have told you which port your stream is using. If you're using the same stream host as before you moved to ASO, then the info they gave you originally would be unchanged. Whoever has been a DJ on your stream will have the port no in their shoutcast DSP. It should also be in any Email you've had from them.
When you find the port number, ask your server host to open that port and the one chronologically above it. Eg: If you were using port 8000, then you would ask your server host to allow ports 8000 and 8001. This is because one port is used for listening, and the other for the stream . . in my experience they both need to be open for a succesful display.
Hope that helps
Any feedback regarding my own problem (1 post above) would be very welcome . . anyone?

ok the hosts opened the ports that my djs use wen they connect....
This is the "Boss in Charge" of what feeds to the XML files.
Code:
; ShowLastSongs specifies how many songs to list in the /played.html
; page. The default is 10. Acceptable entries are 1 to 20.
ShowLastSongs=20
Thanks for the info Zachariah. Since my shoutcast service is currently hosted by a stream provider, rather on my site server or personal PC, it seems this is a file to which I have no access.
Whereas the stream control panel is substantial, there doesn't appear to be any way to enter this particular info there either. Maybe this is something we'll just have to live with.
Still an excellent hack - in fact I've just used your additional code modification to put it right above our shoutbox!

Great news :banana: ya shoutcast is a blast.
You could send a memo / e-mail to your host provider of your shoutcast server and ask that they.
