Hi all, I recently decided to run an Internet Radio Station and I was wandering do I need a microphone or can I broadcast music off my soundcard. And yes, yes I do play requested songs ;D
-
Yes you will need a mic, of which will be plugged into your sound card.
-
You'll need a mic, if you want to talk. If not, you don't need one!
How you going to run it? Shoutcast (http://www.shoutcast.com/download/broadcast.phtml) is a good start if you don't have any suggestions yourself!
-
I've got it set up but i need someone not on my network to test it
http://81.159.178.89:8000/stream.ogg
That link is to the radio station it should be run from a media player me thinks umm i would recommend WinAmp :lol: If you do help I will give you 5 free music requests :lol:
-
its up Im broadcasting music at 128kbps using IceCast as a Bandwidth Amplifier so im capable of hosting 40 people ;D
-
No worky... have you opened up port 8000 in your router?
-
port 8000 is now open ;D Try connecting again ;D
-
Is anyone listening to the station cause IceCast is showing one persson listening
-
Yes! ;D
Good track! :)
Listening in VLC Media Player
-
yay! it works keep listening mate I'm considering my options for next track.
-
Trying to listen in Winamp but it's not working for some reason. It just says "Connecting..."
-
Will do!
Is it repeating the current song? As it did disconnect a while back after the track finished?
-
Trying to listen in Winamp but it's not working for some reason. It just says "Connecting..."
Try using QuickTime as it worked in that as well.
Or VLC media player:-

-
Yes, at the end of a track it disconnects me? :)
-
Jack Johnson :)
Its working good!
When I ran one once I used the Line In connection and ran a cable from the Sound Out to the Line in and configured it that way, whats your setup?
-
Don't Don't Stop The Beat :dance: :silly:
It didn't disconnect that time!
-
Okay anybody know why I lose the sound about a minute into the track, using Media Player 11, I don't think its you Broadband1 'cos the visualizations keep changing so the sound is there it just stops coming out of the speakers, tried it twice and same thing happened both times.
-
Im using EdCast to run the music from my sound card at 128kbps I hope the quality is good. Oh and im using linecast as the server and bandwidth amp.
*EDIT* IceCast not linecast :P
-
More Jack Johnson Guys
-
Please tell me if your experiencing problems cause it says im running low on bandwidth so i may have to go to 64kbps quality :(
-
Bit jumpy now and then but otherwise extremely good.
Leave it for the time, how many listeners have you got?
-
I got 39 incoming connections and 5listeners and my server is only meant to do 30 connections :( i need to get a better server :(
-
Hmm, its not bad, considering all those user.
It did go a bit funny then but stopping and starting the stream sorted that! :police:
Got any 80s or 90s?
The Avalanches - Frontier Psychiatrist again?
-

-
Billy Joel :lol:
-

-
No More Heroes - Stranglers
-
ill check out that song. I got Bob Marley and Jack Johnson running
-
Can't connect now :(
How many listeners have u got?
-
I can't connect either.
-
It looks like you either have no bandwidth left, or that the server has stopped for some reason? :o
-
sorry my wi-fi went haywire now im using USB to connect but its up and running now ;D
-
Nope still can't connect sorry ???
-
Anyone else having such a problem.
-
I'm resetting the server to see if it helps
-
Firefox says that your Server is taking to long to respond so it could be bandwidth related?
How connections have you got currently?
-
oh sorry i forgot to portforward after switching from Wi-fi to USB.
-
I am connected ;D
Everything Is gonna Be alright lol
Did you manage to find that song after?
-

You could install Last.fm and run that to show peeps what songs you have played?
www.last.fm
It does actually work but a small piece of software is needed to Scrobble the tracks
-

-
Does anyone know any where I can Advertise for free ;D
-
Amy Winehouse :o
-
Quality had gone crackly on Valerie?
-
Oh and after I turned off the server IceCast reported that at the highest point I had 52 listeners not bad for a first day :) and there should be plenty more of my
crappy shows to come ;D
-
Broadband and jid,
Just to slow down you two entrepreneurs a bit. Richard Branson thought up an original name that had not belonged to anyone else, for his businesses.
Please remember that the name ’KITZ’ is a trademark of this ADSL site and cannot be used to try to bolster private enterprises such as your ’radio station’. Nor can it be used to indicate that this site in anyway supports your enterprise.
As an aside, you would be better off with a microphone and keep a phone line available with the number being announced on a regular basis.

I don't mind changing the name. I'm looking into a microphone preferably a cheap on. How does Chillax FM sound ;D :lol:
*EDIT* Hopefully Kitz finds it in her heart not to sue me for copyright infringements for a few hours.
-
Think you may be in trouble with the 'bigger' boys by using that name:

Before you start publishing a name, Google your ideas and don't step on anyones toes.

BB 1,This is a Broadband Forum not a radio station.If you want people to listen to your station use your own web site.I agree with Dave.m that in no way should the name 'KITZ' be used to promote your radio station.If I personally want to listen to radio stations I visit that stations website,not a broadband forum.
Goodluck with what you are doing but IMO it should not be promoted via this site.

Yes, Phil is right. I'm locking this thread now.
