Shoutbox

I wanna set up MSA Radio and I kow a few programs and that, but I have no idea how to do it and that from my bedroom. We gonna be playin Urban, RnB and Hip Hop and I was wonderin if some12 can point in the right direction or show me how to do it and that. I looked at few things, but they all speaking in computer lingo, and i have no idea y'see.

any1 be able to help us ere? (btw, I wanna get somethin free, but we will pay if possible) and we want it so u jus click a link and it starts streamin in a deault media player (WMP, iTunes) etc.

If you want something free, you can just use ShoutCAST to host it, and it would stream on WinAMP, and other programs (not sure.).

You need a really good connection, with a good UPLOAD, not download only, you UPLOAD music to people, so you need a good connection.  On any DSL service, you won't be able to stream more than 2/3 people MAX.

There are cheap company's for about 5-10$ per month for ShoutCAST hosting, so what they do is, you stream to the server (speed doesnt matter, just a fairly good connection), The server you will stream to has a fast connection (usually T1/T3), which will stream faster, resulting in more people able to listen.  Then you could go for 300/400 people, but you are simply streaming to server.

im on broadband good connection, that aint a prob, i tried shout Cast (free version) but this is what im sayin,. from there, i dont know wehat to do. seriously, have no culue, like wer do i go from this then? i need to some1 to help, but i'll get shoutCast again now and take a second look

The onyl problem with trying to 'dumb down' the lingo is that so much of the lingo is important. When peope start talking about upload bandwidth, TCP ports and the like, it's because that's really the only way to talk about it.
If you want a sort of 'Networking 101', I'm happy to give it a go

go for it then race pro lad

if i tell u what i want, do u reckon u can set it up, or tell me step by step on how to?

I don't know about setting it up, but I can attempt a 'de-lingo-fication'.

I know how to set it up, etc.  You just gotta read the HOWTO's.

Anyways, I don't think your broadband connection will be enough, most or ALL internet DSL company's provide 786/384 or less upload speed, I really doubt they would give more.  You'll be able to handle a few listeners, but don't think alot.

bah, ok, tar ppl

I can help set one up aswell. I've done it a few times, and so I know a few things.
