Icecast Streaming      

Icecast is a free streaming media project maintained by the Xiph.org Foundation. It also refers specifically to the server program which is part of the project. Icecast was created in December 1998/January 1999 by Jack Moffitt and Barath Raghavan to provide an open source audio streaming server that anyone could modify, use, and tinker with.  Version 2 was started in 2001, a ground-up rewrite aimed at multi-format support (initially targeting Ogg Vorbis) and scalability.

How will my people see my station . When you start broadcasting you will be listed on the ShoutCast website.  Thousands of listeners in search of music.  Your station will be listed by gender of your stream (Rock, Jazz, Country. etc.)

I want to have two streams, one at 64k and one at 128k. When you go to our order page, you can select the bit rate and how many slots.  It will allow you to order different combinations of bitrates.  Don't forget about our value plans to save money.

What software do I need to broadcast. You can choose from several different ones: SAM2/SAM3/SAM4 by Spacial Audio, OTS, WinAmp and others that will support the ShoutCast DNAs.

Will my Shoutcast Server have a static IP address. Yes.  Each stream you sign up for will have it's own unique static IP address and port number.
