Brutish Sailor Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 For dummies like me, this is pretty dummy proof. This install guide is for windowsXP using Winamp for a source. Ok, I love edcast, just because of the free open source nature. You can stream to Icecast2 with it. You can stream to Shoutcast with it. Heres how to get this, and get it working http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee69/Brutish/slide1.jpg First step: Go to www.oddsock.org, http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee69/Brutish/slide2.jpg Step 2: select the winamp plugin. and download this. http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee69/Brutish/slide3.jpg Step3: Go along with the installation, and install these files ESPECIALLY MP3 LAME. Better to have them than not. DO NOT worry about AAC encoders for now. http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee69/Brutish/slide4.jpg Step 4: During the installation, its going to redirect you to a site. Select mp3 bundles. http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee69/Brutish/slide5.jpg Then select this packet. Download it. http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee69/Brutish/slide6.jpg Step 5: open up that file you just downloaded, and take out this file. http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee69/Brutish/slide7.jpg Step 6: Where ever winamp is in your computer, drop this file in it. http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee69/Brutish/slide8.jpg Step 7: Start up winamp and drop this bar down to select preferences http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee69/Brutish/slide9.jpg Step 8: Select DSP on the leftside, and double click edcast. http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee69/Brutish/slide10.jpg Now you just need the encoder settings. If you transferred your Mp3 Lame Codec properly, you should see " MP3 Lame" as an option when you select "add encoder" as an encoder type type. http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee69/Brutish/slide11.jpg KNSJ.org / 89.1 FM San Diego Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MixStream.net Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 Great tutorial, but I too prefer the standalone version - I don't really see the need for Winamp when using Edcast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesdean Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 Great tutorial, but I too prefer the standalone version - I don't really see the need for Winamp when using Edcast. I have used winamp on a second soundcard/speakers etc.. to listen to the stream going out as a listener as this is possible of course, this is why the stand alone edcast is best.
