Re: PHP and Shoutcast
Hi John, I've not done much in internet broadcasting but did a little with shoutcast. If you are looking for a large number of listeners, have you looked at third party streaming hosts like: http://www.listen2myradio.com/ As far as I know, when you host your own streaming server, the number of listeners is restricted to things like server hardware, isp host etc. When I dabbled on my 4gb ram pc with adsl isp host of 256kps up stream, I only got 5/6 concurrent listeners at 128bit streams before it started buffering. So by making use of a third party streaming host, you only have to maintain the stream to the host, while your listeners get their streams from the host. hth, John - Original Message - From: "John Chilelli" To: "PC Audio Discussion List" Sent: Sunday, May 05, 2013 6:47 AM Subject: Re: PHP and Shoutcast Hi Humberto, I am wanting seriously to do a internet radio broadcast and was wondering if shoutcast was the way to go.

I have a MacBook Pro that I am just learning and I am running a Kruzweil K2600 keyboard through an Allen - Heath Zed 12FX mixer that I just got today.

RE: PHP and Shoutcast
Hello John: Just as another John already answered you, a DSL connection is not enough to broadcast from home to many listeners. I have 768 kb upload speed and is not enough. Similarly, many services that offer streaming overload their systems with the result of periodic fading of the signal at peak hours, so you must either contract a reputable streaming service or set up your own in a VPS or dedicated server. As far as software, the two major ones are Shoutcast and Icecast, they are both free; to manage the streaming server, unless you write your own software, there are likewise two major options: Centova Cast and WHMSonic, neither one is free. As far as tutorials, you may find some at www.centova.com and www.shoutcast.com but the best I found is at www.mushroomfm.com. However, there is a lot to learn, you will need to go to Google and do some research as problems present themselves. I am using Shoutcast 2 in my VPS and trying to script my way to handle it without Centova or WHMSonic, a complex task for which I have found little help. My previous message to this list went unanswered and although I have looked extensively in forums, still have some difficulties.

Re: RSS or podcast feeds, could someone help please
Hey Ken, Thanks for that reminder. I've heard that mentioned over time, but completely forgot about it. I'll give it a look some time sooner than later. Have a great day, Larry At 09:01 AM 5/4/2013, you wrote: Hi Larry, go to a site called withtheblindinmind.com Ther is a good pprogram called podcacher.

I am trying to figure out how to use IE8 as an aggregator for podcasts, but can't figure out how to effectively subscribe to RSS feeds. In other words, when I subscribe, I never get any indication that I've been in anyway successful. I have never received a Podcast from C-SPAN for example, and others I cannot at present recall. If IE isn't a practical way to subscribe to or receive Podcasts, please let me know, and also why this should be. If anybody could recommend another aggregator besides iTunes, that would really be appreciated also. If this is understood by any who might be willing to respond to this question to be barely on topic, please respond off list.
