NickolasM. Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 I won a Shoutcast radio from Total-Streaming. So I felt like a little Review. First of all. It was horrible to set up. You do not get the shoutcast password unless you request it from them. You can DJ from a panel they have online but is way to hard to set up. For the last couple of days the shoutcast server has been down. I have contacted them many times about it and not one e-mail has come back saying they will fix it. Nothing. Total-Streaming said they were going to add all of these features within the next two days... They never came. That was two weeks ago. This is my Review on Total-Streaming, And now I do not have a shoutcast server Because they will not fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kjkoning Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Thought I'd chime in here. Originally the contest was for an entire station through the Total Automation program. The Shoutcast server was an extra addin for direct access from TA. I am working on a fix for him though. Also, I've made the difficult decision of not selling the Total Streaming product for now. I don't have enough time to devote to additional customers. Hopefully in the near future we'll have a more reliable system in place. It is a great idea, but needs more work before going public. Obviously, all my current testers and customers will be able to keep their stations (and servers) as long as they'd like, and the program will be updated, albeit less often.

kwdservices Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Well this thread hasn't been updated so I thought I would. Our company has bought out Total Automation and we are now using it for our AutoDJ solution. However, KJ is still with us and is our main developer on this project. At the moment, we are not selling it to any new stations because we are in the process of integrating it with our new in-house developed control panel system, but when we start selling it again to stations it will be on several very reliable servers on our premium quality network. Please feel free to ask any questions you have regarding this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kjkoning Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 I am very excited to be working with Karl & KWD Services to be able to offer this service. I almost hate calling it an "AutoDJ" system because of everything it can do. It is actively being programmed, adding new features and making it rock solid. It's great for simple stations with 5 listeners to large stations with literally thousands of listeners. It even includes it's own traffic (commercial) billing and voicetracking... something Sam could only dream of KJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TechnoKelvin Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 I'm a bit lost.... kjkoning, is the software you use server side software, like autodj, that runs your station without you have to have a computer online doing it? If so how can it compare to SAM which runs on your computer and has to be online for the radio station to work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so how can it compare to SAM which runs on your computer and has to be online for the radio station to work? This software runs on our servers and is like any other AutoDJ in the sense that you upload music (FTP or direct uploading through the site), select your settings and song order and let it go. Our system works more like a full automation system though (e.g. Sam Broadcaster) and you end up having a huge amount of control over it. For a full feature list or for a demo, look at the bottom of the post. Of course if you have any questions, feel free to ask here. -------------------------- -- Upload all of your music and imaging via FTP -- See the song that is currently playing and the schedule in real time -- Skip the song that is currently playing and change to the next song, all with 1 click -- Use this service even if you don't host your stream with us -- Playlist creation via clock scheduler (The same way Sam Broadcaster scheduling works) -- Ability to view the schedule for any day/time -- Ability for listeners to make requests in real time (A listener can click a link on your website and the song will automatically be queued up to start playing) -- Ability to voicetrack in real time via a Java applet. Now it's a breeze to make voicetracks, record them right into our AutoDJ panel and then schedule them! No recording program needed! -- Real time SHOUTcast listener stats -- AJAX Media Library -- Built in recording application for recording your station -- Detailed help files and help guides on every page -- Built in, instream advertising management system (Traffic) -- Ability to edit the timezone that is used -- Song crossfading -- Mobile optimized version for your cell phone. Just visit http://adj1.kwdservices.com/mobile to see it in action. Not convinced yet?

kwdservices Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 So I will get my stream back or no? Well you will most likely have to pay for it, but since you were with him before when he was offering it free we can give you discounted rates. This is assuming you were referring to the Total Automation part. We cannot offer you stream hosting at a discounted rate, but we'd be glad to work with you to make a deal on stream hosting.

Its like saying i can give everyone at this forum a free SAM broadcaster license. Its not fair.
