If I have QMP open, and navigate (in Firefox) to a radio site (ShoutCast, IceCast, or any individual site such as StillStream (http://www.stillstream.com/index.php)) there is no apparent response from QMP.

If I then open the play queue, look for the desired stream among what may be many stream instances, and double-click it, it will play.

If on the other hand I close QMP, and then click on the link, it fires up and plays the stream perfectly first time.

Is this something to do with the way in which radio streams are added to the play queue? It's most annoying, and might persuade the less persistent that QMP simply can't play streams from their parent site, which would be a pity!

If you can reproduce this mate, then post it as a bug in bugtracker.

Perfectly reproducible, in IE7 as well as FF2.

Good suggestion, Rex - I've done just that - Bug ID #1757.
