Overview
Shoutcast Player is a program developed by Andy Scott. Upon installation, it defines an auto-start registry entry which allows the program run on each boot for the user which installed it. A scheduled task is added to Windows Task Scheduler in order to launch the program at various scheduled times (the schedule varies depending on the version). The software is designed to connect to the Internet and adds a Windows Firewall exception in order to do so without being interfered with. The main program executable is Shoutcast Player.exe. The software installer includes 4 files and is usually about 1.04 MB (1,087,452 bytes). In comparison to the total number of users, most PCs are running the OS Windows 7 (SP1) as well as Windows Vista (SP2). While about 64% of users of Shoutcast Player come from the United States, it is also popular in Germany and Belgium.
