internet radio broadcasting by Lou on 08-15-2005 at 06:40 PM

I have always wanted a way to broadcast a radio for my website. The only way I found was pirateradio.com and its not free. Does anyone know of a way to broadcast a website radio station for free, and have a few people be able to broadcast on it [like have a few djs]

Thank you!

first you have to get a server which can cost a bit, or you can run it off your computer, try www.shoutcast.com

then you need a broadcaster, shoutcast also offers a plug in for winamp to be able to broadcast ro your server,

the server is the most prolbematic, it drains your bandwidth for every person that connects to your server, if you rrun it off your PC, you will not find any free shoutcast hosting sites, the demand on bandwith is simply to high,

shoutcast allows you to broadt cast your own music, to other people
