Below, I have stated 15 options to go by (tutorial) to make your own radio station!

Enjoy

1) Download the DNAS. You can find it here: http://www.shoutcast.com/download/license.phtml
2) Run the file you just downloaded, this will install the DNAS.
3) Download the DSP. You can find it here: http://www.shoutcast.com/download/broadcas...ml#plugdownload
3) Run the file you downloaded and this will install the DSP into Winamp.
4) In the Start menu find the "Edit SHOUTcast DNAS configuration" and change the password to something other then "changeme". You can also take this time to change your listener count and port base if you wish.
5) Open Winamp and load the DSP (Ctrl + P > DSP/Effect > Nullsoft SHOUTcast Source)
6) In the window that pops up go to "Output" highlight "Output 1" and press "Connection".
7) For the address leave it at localhost if the DNAS is on the same machine, otherwise put in the IP of the machine with the DNAS.
8) If you changed the port in step 4 then put the value you entered in here.
9) Change the password to what you entered in step 4.
10) Change the "Encoder" to 1.
11) Click on the "Encoder" tab.
12) Select "Encoder 1" and change the type to "MP3 Encoder"
13) Set the "Encoder Settings" to the quality you want.
14) Start the DNAS (Start > SHOUTcast DNAS > SHOUTcast DNAS).
15) Play a song in Winamp and press "Connect" under the "Output" tab of the DSP.

- Also, to speak through your microphone go to the last tab on the right hand side and click "Soundcard Input". Hope you like it peeps.

You really should have posted this in the tutorials section.

That's an excellent tutorial, though. It's tempting to give it a try, but I don't have the will nor the need. Thanks very much for the information

I have used the ShoutCast plugin before. It can be a little slow and buggy sometimes, but generally works quite well. It really sucks up the bandwidth though. Just make sure you set the maximum number of listeners low enough to prevent you sky rocketing through your bandwidth limit.

Would you be able to play music on your station? I would think you could not because of copyrights but if I am wrong feel free to tell me.

That's a really good tutorial. I would use it if I had a need. I have thought about it a couple times what it would be like to host your own radio station. lol You would have to get people to advertise on it though so you can make some money, or have google ads or something. I might have to try that over the winter. "Pleno Radio"

great tutorial, i guess it's useful, i can't instal it now, but it looks pretty good, i was thinking what are the legal terms and copyrights to run an internet radio station, and what can i do to get it legal?

As far as I know, it's legal, a lot of people are doing it. But if you have the artist's CD's, it's legal, but we all no the way around that, don't we...

Nice tutorial, but as mentioned above, it should be in the tutorial section. I am not sure what I would do with a radio station. Do you choose the frequency? Or does automatically find an available one? I may do it, I don't know, thanks for the info, just remember to post it in the right area, this really isn't related to website discussion.
