live internet radio

[GLneo]

does anyone know of a simple way i can use my computer as a live streaming internet radio server? , thx!

VLC will do streaming for you, though I don't think it has a huge range of options in terms of doing it "live".

[GLneo]

thx, that might help if i ever figure it out, but you dont think i could hook a mic to my pc and stream that? online radios i see have a .pls file filled with the address of a file or something on a port, im a little confused??? .pls :

Code: Select all

[playlist]
NumberOfEntries=1
File1=http://stream.wusb.stonybrook.edu:8090/

so that is most likly just a play list with a internet file as a song?

[Kemp]

Yeah, the playlist just gives the address of the server rather than a local file.

Have you tested SHOUTcast?

Maybe that helps?

[GLneo]

well dont you just upload stuff to SHOUTcast and they server it? i kind of want to server my own music and voice, i have been serching for a long time and there doesn't seem to be any open soure(or even just freeware(or shareware)) stuff to do this.

Yep, SHOUTcast and one fine server...

This is good:
www.radiostation.cz

Free server, BUT only 32kbps and 10 listeners max.
Or you can pay (128 kbps,25 listeners will cost about 800 Kč [35 dollars] monthly)

It is in Czech language, but if ya want, i can translate it to you.

Also, ICEcase is a free version of the shoutcast server, from the friendly guys behind CD paranoia, Ogg, Vorbis, Theora, and Flac.
