Shoutcast Playlist Downloader
Shoutcast is a popular music radio directory owned by AOL. It offers an efficient way to find radio stations based on genre and other parameters such as bitrate or compression. Shoutcast made the news recently when it was removed by the developers of the popular media player VLC from their application.
You can read up on that in the following article that we published to explain the removal: About The Shoutcast Removal In VLC 1.1.
The Shoutcast Playlist Downloader is a portable software for Windows that might provide a solution to Windows users. It basically can be used to download Internet Radio playlist files. These playlist files can be executed in a compatible media player, like VLC, Winamp or AIMP2, to listen to the radio station.

It begins with a click on the Refresh button in the program interface to pull the genre listing from Shoutcast. Each genre can be checked individually to include it in the download.
Parameters like the minimum and maximum bitrate, max number of playlists per genre and compression format (AAC+ or MP3) can be specified next to the download directory.
The downloaded playlists can be saved in .pls or .plx format. The playlist files are automatically saved in genre directories to make identification easier.
The individual playlist files can be executed with a easy double-click. The playlists are best for transferal to XBMC, other gaming systems, mobile devices or media players on the computer. It is theoretically possible to download the playlist files manually from Shoutcast as well, which is probably the better solution for users who want more control on the selection process.
Shoutcast Playlist Downloader is available for download at the developer’s website over at Gazstone.
