As you can see I know nothing about any of this crap, and the only time I ever listen to anything on the computer is Sunday night. The Brewcasters were the only reason I have an audio player on my PC and they are the only thing that's ever been played on it. Since that's the only "site" that's ever been played on my computer it's logical (I guess) that that's what plays when the program opens.


Abacast is the company that provides the internet stream that The Brewing Network Show is webcast on. At some point you should've had to download a plug-in from Abacast in order to even hear the show.

Abacast puts a little white icon with an "A" on it in your tray when you click on the main page link to start listening... It should close on its own when Winamp is not loaded, but I suppose that it sometimes may not...

What may help you is this: When you're done listening, close Winamp, then close Abacast by right-clicking on the Abacast Client icon and selecting "Exit". This will force Abacast to unload. It shouldn't pop up again unless a link invokes it.

I like you guys, but come on...I don't need to be bringing it strong with my wife and out of nowhere hear Justin bringing it weak...
