SHOUTcast Internet Radio for beginners.
Workshop: Tuesday 12 July 2011 (3 to 4.30 pm).
This is the second of our series of workshops about music on the Internet.
SHOUTcast is software for creating and listening to Internet radio. At the workshop, we will look at …
- The SHOUTcast website –
A searchable directory of Internet radio stations with a built-in media player; easy to use but the search is sometimes slow. - Winamp –
A SHOUTcast player that you can download and install on your own computer. Very reliable, but remarkably ugly. We have it on most of our computers at The Lawns. There is also a portable version that you can install on a flash drive. Winamp is also a general-purpose media player – efficient, but not as good as our preferred VLC (which can do everything except stream SHOUTcast).
