Shoutcast has made some recent changes to the Genre catagory that you should be aware of. Please read this first:
http://www.shoutcaststreaming.us/whmcs/whmcs/announcements.php?id=46
Rule #1 - Limit your Genre to a few genres, such as:
Country, Alt-Country, Western
If you try to put in every Genre possible, chances are you won't get listed. This is a example that might not work:
Rock, Blues, Modern, Pop, 80's, Techno, Jazz, Disco, Smooth Jazz, Bluegrass, Japanese, Heavy Metal
Rule #2 - Make sure that your server is public in the Shoutcast DNA's
Go to your Control Panel. For example, if you are on server SC8, go to: http://cast.sc8.shoutcaststreaming.us
Log In > Configure Server > Server Overrides > Public Server
- If this is set to AUTOMATIC, it should work
- If you are still not listed, set it to ALWAYS
Rule #3 - It takes a while
Sometimes it will take 24 hours before you are listed. The YP (yellow pages) server(s) get out of synch and it may take time.
