Hi,

The SST webcast works fine for me, but the listing on the Queue and what actual song is playing at the moment is a little messed up. For instance:

If song 1 was playing, and song 2 was next, on the Queue/Played page it would say Song 2 was playing while really song 1 was still going on for another minute. Have any of you expeirenced this problem before?

This is normal. The "now playing" display is not totally in sync. This prevents everyone reloading the page at the exact same time, and thus killing the site.

Also, the different audio feeds are not all totally in sync with each other anyway, so the "now playing" would never be correct to second for all listeners in any case.

Another cause of this feature is how much your player buffers of the stream before it actually plays. I think the standard in Winamp is 64KByte, which accounts to about 8 seconds of audio. I've set my Winamp to buffer 256KB, which accounts to roughly 30 seconds of audio, so my audio is always at least 30 seconds out of synch with the "now playing". All perfectly natural.
