otrusa Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Does any one know of a really really easy way to have the track information from your ShoutCast station appear on Twitter and/or Facebook? I say "really really easy" because I have no script programming experience whatsoever. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! -Barry Old Time Radio USA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
