I've been in a Sonic Youth mood all this week, 'Daydream Nation' is a fantastic album.

Snow Patrol - Final Straw

Mew - Frengers

[Phanerothyme 12]

So far lots of Camper Van Beethoven and FZ

 

You may attempt to actually listen to what I am now listening to via my sig. (if I am listening to anything).

How does that work then? Does it actually play it from your computer?

[Rich 12]

At this moment in time I've got Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds album on.

 

Top class! Eve of the War is one of the scariest tunes ever!

I'm running a little test.

 

I play the music on my computer and stream it to a 'Shoutcast Server'.

 

For this to work I must pay for a shoutcast server stream.

 

The stream I am renting is for up to 30 concurrent listeners at 64kbps (half standard mp3 quality).

 

I chose screaminghost.com as a shoutcast server because they offered instant set up, but their web site is a bit of a bag of spanners, so I would go elsewhere in future.

 

A shoutcast server basically takes your upload and makes the bandwidth available for the numbe of listeners plugged into your feed. It creates a file at this URL http://fizz.screaminghost.com:8022/listen.pls - which is a playlist file that Winamp and most players understand. For the link to work, your player must be registered as a helper application for your browser.

 

 

To stream the sounds to a shoutcast server, you need a player that will do so.

 

QCD and winamp do, they use plugins, Windows media player does not AFAIK. If you have winamp 5 go to the plugins page and search for shoutcast.

 

I am using SAM 2.7.9 from spacialaudio.com to stream the music, as I am trying to learn its playlist automation language (which is quite a lot better than just "Shuffle")

 

SAM 2.7.9 Lacks some basic features like being able to preview one track whilst broadcasting another.

Snow Patrol - Final straw and Franz Ferdinand. Rather good too...
