Freeform BCN stream

I just popped up this stream. I am using VLC Media Player. (videolan.com)
This is a multi-format media player that I have used with considerable success.
 
No luck with winamp, all the other CBS radio streams doing fine, but Freeform BCN not.

Edit: works fine again on winamp. Short outage I guess.
 
The WBCN Free Form feed (WZLX HD3) changed its specific direct streaming URL, that's why it had to be "reloaded" and "re-bookmarked" by re-using the "provisioning..." link to reconnect. This occurs on occasion with station StreamTheWorld URLs.

Side note:

if using Winamp or another AAC compatible player, why not use an AAC link to get better audio rather than using the 64 K 22 kHz link in the original post? Of course, if the player used is not AAC compatible (such as Windows Media Player), nevermind. ;)

Try this link for 64 K 44 kHz stereo AAC audio: http://provisioning.streamtheworld.com/pls/WZLXHD3AAC.pls

(For streamtheworld.com URLs, slide in the "AAC" suffix after the call letters-AM-FM-HD portion of the URL - such as WZLXHD3 above. Works in most cases.)
