James Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 hey welcome! well.. firstly you need a server. i recommend using streamsolutions.co.uk or stream101.com. now the type of server you choose is the type of sound quality you will have. so the higher the bitrate, the better the sound quality! now once you have your server, your going to need winamp, and the shoutcast dsp. go to the shoutcast site at shoutcast.com and download the software! you should follow my tutorial here: ftopic140_how-to-set-up-a-shoutcast-server%C7%83.html and about software.. free? you can either use winamp or use direttore ( http://www.mixtime.com/ ) if you have any questions or you need any help.. just ask Studiio - All-In-One Radio Communication Platform SMS | Phone Calls | Social Media | Content Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punk101 Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 hey dude, if you have a homepage you could set up a shoutbox on it and then ppl would be able to send you instant requests (thats what i did on my website) OR get yourself a request phone #....hope that helps.

Punk101 Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Hey Lyzio, I don't see any scripts in our section so go here: http://php.resourceindex.com/Complete_S ... /Shoutbox/ and you should be able to find yourself a script. Kris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 shoutbox is a good idea, just i saw in Radio DJ panel that you can se request but i dont find a script so ppl can send the request hey, what dj panel are you using? im glad you got the server working if your using a panel, read the readme file. it should contain a code to place on your site for users to request a shoutbox is a good idea but you get ALOT and i mean ALOT of spammers unless you have some sort of security, i recommend sticking to a dj panel, that way you and other dj's can see all the messages instead of scrolling through the shoutbox good luck, if you need anymore support.. i am writing some little things on each panel so you know how to set one up but please dont hesitate to ask :upz: Studiio - All-In-One Radio Communication Platform SMS | Phone Calls | Social Media | Content Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spud Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 ok setting up a station is not that difficult there are plenty of shoutcast tutorials i use SAM3 instead of winamp and am quite happy with it i host the low BW stream from the home computer and i got a great deal from streamthenet.com since u are starting out u may want to start with your own computer and if u wish contract a service to host your stream as is the case bandwidth is the currency of the internet peace Spud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
