How To Make Your Own Radio Station

[greeting]

Found this in one of the resource...!

Must HAVE Winamp (Any Version)
First, things First your speed has to be at least 256/64 kbps (which means Dial-up users, will have alot of latency, just dnt bother)
Second, your going to have to have a domain, an updated one with the current i.p active. (Could be anything e.g. My sig)

Now, Your gonna have to download the Shoutcast Files.

Go to www.shoutcast.com to get the files.

Ok After downloading these, installing Both of them in any order i dnt care. Go to START>PROGRAM FILES>SHOUTcast DNAS>EDIT SHOUTCAST DNS CONFIG.

Ok your gonna have to Configure it:
Go Down and where it says password: change (that means your gonna have to change it to whatever, make sure u remember)
The Portbase: change it to whatever port you want it
Maxusers: (lets be realistic here, dnt put in 10000, like NXS's radio station) your bandwidth has to be extremely good, if your cable, 50 user max is ok, ADSL should stay below 10 users, and T1 connections should do whatever tickles there fantasy.

Open winamp, RIGHT CLICK>OPTIONS>PREFRENCES>DSP EFFECT> and choose the NULLSOFT SHOUTCAST.

Go to OUTPUT, and then click on Connection, Through the ADDRESS, type your address which you have done through www.no-ip.com, PORT NUMBER, whatever u did in the EDIT.txt, and your password.

Then go to Encoder, and choose your quality of your music. Go back to OUTPU>OUTPUT CONFIG> YELLOW PAGES. this is your advertisemant information. dow hatever you like there.

Now Connect. to check that your Radio os on-line go to http://(your address that you added in the prefrence)

enjoy!

I just performed an experiment to see if shoutcast will work on a dial-up server and it does, but barely. I can't give you my IP address because its dynamic...lol

For max user, 50 will probably be to much on a cable line even. But it depends on the quality you stream at.
Use this to calculate how many listeners you can support.

Good, but some people ( like myself ) have modem / routers that don't seem to like shoutcast very much. I followed tutorials and instructions to setup a station, and nothing ever worked.

[Scott B]

I'm surprised dial-up even supports a max user of one streaming at 24kbs

Why make your own, when x10 has a radio station! Nice find though.

Or use a server to stream your radio.

This is good for the good internet's(like 1 MBPS or 100 MPBS)
