VLC media player and Icecast Internet radio.
Workshop: Tuesday 26 July 2011 (3 to 4.30 pm).
This is the fourth in our series of workshops about music on the Internet.
VLC is the default media player at Agewell Computer Club. That means we use it to play all our music and video files. It’s also a very good streaming media player. The only thing we can’t use it for (at the moment) is to listen to SHOUTcast Internet radio (SHOUTcast was the topic of our 12 July 2011 workshop). However, VLC is an excellent player for Icecast Internet radio – we will pay special attention to that at the workshop.
VLC is free, open-source, not tied to any commercial interest, and very good. There is also a portable version that you can install on your own flash drive.
At the workshop.
We will show you how to …
- Create music playlists with VLC.
- How to use VLC to download and organise podcasts
- How to use it as an Icecast Internet radio player.
