UPDATE 05/05/14: Most of this thread is marked for deletion, this ancient version of winamp and the plugin it comes with were kept alive here because of the MANY MANY bugs with the newer versions - these now seem to be sorted and improved upon, so proceed directly to the latest versions of both the shputcast plugin and winamp in the thread and run in 'legacy V1 mode'..
For some reason the latest versions of WINAMP have done away with the AAC+ plugin.. AAC+ is the best to use to push to the Server here ( http://mrspring.net:3030 ) since at 48k Mpeg4 setting, it takes only 8k upload to deliver a serious quality stream to punters..
So, here it is - the last one we have lying around that did AAC+ out of the box..
Install the winamp, then the plugin
Then go to preferences, and in the DSP entry, click on the shoutcast plugin - then it will open up and you can configure it.. You need to appear on http://chat.mrspring.net and speak to me or AS400XL to get the correct settings for the plugin to enable you to stream from mrspring.net - once you have the port settings and password you are welcome to broadcast whatever whenever.. etc.
On OUTPUT Tab:
click output 1,
in 'connection', 'address' is mrspring.net, 'port' is (ask in the chat), 'password' is (ask in the chat), 'encoder' is 1, 'auto recon' is ticked, 'recon time' is 10 sec.
in 'yellowpages', set up your choice, except in URL you must put 'mrspring.net', and in 'IRC' put 'mrspring.net'. Try to 'enable title updates' as it makes nice stats for you..
On ENCODER Tab:
Click 'encoder 1', for default station setup, select 'AAC+ Encoder', then in 'Encoder settings' button, make it '48k', 'MP4' & 'stereo'.. Else play about and do whatever.. Thats what it's about innit. Remember though, the bigger the numbers, the more of your internets you hog doing it, and the more of everyone else's you hog. Don't expect people to stick with you for that 2-hour prog bender if You are pushing a 256k mp3! This is where AAC+ wins it takes up fu*k-all space, so is even viable on a Phone
On INPUT Tab:
Select Your Input Device - 'winamp' to play in Winamp using the playlist - you can drag stuff in & out of it while it plays 'soundcard input' will relay whatever your soundcard is set to RECORD from.. So, you can make this the LINE IN and jack in whatever..
Once set, back to the OUTPUT tab, and press 'connect'
People using Virtual DJ or whatever would use mp3 in their software to push, but if you want to stream longterm, AAC+ is low-overhead stuff you can keep going the whole time at home..
Of coarse winamp can also use LINE IN, but for just loading up a playlist and playing it, this wins..
It seems the NEWER versions of Winamp are gearing up to doing Video! So, we'll see how that pans out.. We definatly want to support video, but for now, lets keep it audio, and keep it random.
Anyway - zip attached..
