SHOUTCAST PROVIDER

[Story Link]

Storylink Radio just changed our Shoutcast provider and got a great deal!!!

If you use Shoutcast, or are considering using it, Fire and Ice Grid is offering a super deal..
And yes of course it works great in Kitely, or anywhere...
And no you don't need to have an account at F&I grid, but you could, it's nice grid with friendly folk and HG naturally.

https://fireandicegrid.net/Shoutcast
Up to 5 simultaneous shoutcast streams
Up to 100 listeners per stream
Streams up to 128kbps
£4.10 per month paypal subscription <-- that's presently $5.33 in USD (plus $0.14 foreign transaction fee)

We were paying $6/month for a single stream from digiStream with 50 listeners. digiStream has been very stable and reliable with responsive help center, but in testing so far the F&I Shoutcast has less than half the lag that the digiStream one did, and I think it sounds better. We'll know more though after we test it with an audience.

Other Thoughts:
- If you need only one stream, maybe you know someone who also needs one and you could maybe share one subscription?
- You could use one stream for voice or whatever, and use another one for your own internet radio station to put on a Land URL
- This package does not have AutoDJ, but we're looking at setting up 24/7 RaspberryPi Shoutcast server(s) cheap
- If you just to see how Shoutcast works you can get a single stream for 1 or 3 days, or a week from digiStream


This is an unsolicited posting - just wanted to let you all know about the great deal.

If anyone needs help setting up a Shoutcast stream for their land or whatever, I can share how we do it.. not sure we're doing it the 'right' way, but hey it works!

Be happy to send link on how to setup RaspberryPi Shoutcast server too...
