January 3, 2011 — Timothy Bowers

This tutorial will just take you through a few options to connect to our Supernatural World servers so that you can stream your own radio show. Firstly though you must have an agreement with us regarding your own show (or station), if you don’t have one yet or your just interested to know more about streaming your own show then get in touch.

SimpleCast :-

is a commercial product and you will need a license from Spacial Audio – SimpleCast from Spacial Audio.

  • Supports ShoutCast and IceCast with more options.

BUTT (broadcast using this tool) :-

This is a FREE product and can be found on the SourceForge SVN, BUTT – http://butt.sourceforge.net/

  • Runs on Linux, MacOS, and MS Windows

Edcast – This tool is no longer developed or supported, the author has also removed some parts from the SVN and so you may not find a complete version easily.

  • Can be installed stand-alone or as a plugin to Winamp

NiceCast :-

NiceCast is an amazing little tool, it connects into your iTunes for streaming music amongst other devices (audio cards for mics, mixers and more). NiceCast – http://www.rogueamoeba.com/nicecast/

There maybe other options out there such as using SAM Broadcaster, however these options above are our favoured ones, they are also fairly simplistic to set-up and use.
