![]() ![]() Install the SHOUTcast server (on the computer that is going to broadcast) and Winamp plugin (on the computer that is going to be used for generating the content).The easiest way to setup SHOUTcast is to: It works by compressing the sound with the DSP plugin, then sending it to the server, which then serves it to the world (or for example your home). The SHOUTcast server, which serves all of your listeners can even be installed on a different computer than the one Winamp is one (it can even be installed under Linux). SHOUTcast seperates the real broadcasting from Winamp. If you want to use any external devices to broadcast from, this is the time to connect them (see the Devices section). You might also want to download the Nullsoft Null Output plugin, which you can select while broadcasting, so you won't hear the sound (as strange as it may seem, sometimes this can be very usefull).įurthermore you obviously need a connection to broadcast over, this can be anything, I myself use SHOUTcast to broadcast over my home network, but broadcasting over the internet is a definite possibility, although you will need enough bandwidth to broadcast a decent signal (ISDN is the bare minimum, if you would have only one or two users and are prepared to give up all of your bandwidth to SHOUTcast).Īnd you need some material to broadcast of course, this can be anything that can be played by Winamp (except for WMA), although you do have copyrights to wory about (especially when broadcasting over the internet). ![]() Broadcasting is a lot more difficult, but once you get the hang of it, it is not that difficult.įirst of all you need two things from, the latest shoutcast plugin for Winamp (I will be talking about v1.8.2a) and the shoutcast server (same version), these can be downloaded from the download page on, but the plugin is in the DJ section and the other one in the server (?) section. SHOUTcast gives you the possibility of having your own internet radio station, or to receive internet radio broadcasts of course, but that's something everybody with Winamp installed can do.
