Streaming radio with ShoutCast and WinAmp
Monday, May 5th, 2008So you want to run a streaming radio station eh?
My bother in law (well sort of, girlfriend’s sister’s husband) is another with a background in radio broadcasting, we met up at the Carillon in Loughorough the other day when Caroline was playing and ended up anoraking about streamng radio.
That led to me setting up ShoutCast server and trying to get to grips with things to see how easy, or hard, it would be to set up a stream. It’s not amazingly hard but it’s SSH based and I’d prefer a nice user interface so I purchased an owned license for WHMSonic ShoutCast Admin Pro - this is now installed on NoSting Hosting and lets clients manage their radio stations with ease. It even comes with AutoDJ which shuffles mp3s you simply store in a directory.
