Hi there Inveryes,

There could be a couple of reasons for this :-

The front page of the website doesn't automatically refresh itself. So, if you're looking for the currently playing track you will have to manually refresh the front page occasionally.

The website is currently in the process of being overhauled and the new front page will automatically refresh itself plus it will display the song title in full - I know that sometimes the full name of the song isn't displayed properly.

Also, the code on the current front page of the website pulls the information directly from the server streaming the music. This is always (ever so slightly) ahead of what anyone tuning-in will hear (about ten seconds or so). Nothing to be alarmed about, it's the way that ShoutCast works. There is a slight 'buffer' in the stream which helps to alleviate any 'breaking up' of the music.

In the meantime, I can't stress how better it is tuning-in with the free WinAamp. As apart from other extra features, the current artist / title will always be displayed (in full). Something that Windows Media Player doesn't support.

Any further questions, let me know.

Cheers for now.

Dee
