SHOUTcast
From open-encyclopedia.com - the free encyclopedia.
SHOUTcast is a freeware audio streaming technology, developed by Nullsoft. SHOUTcast uses MP3 encoding of audio content and http (though multicast can be used) as the transport protocol to broadcast web radio also known as internet radio.
Unlike many sites that simply offer internet radio, SHOUTcast allows users to set up their own internet radio servers using provided software. The output format is supported by multiple clients inclucing the widely popular Nullsoft Winamp, XMMS, and Apple iTunes. Using the software, users may set up radio servers for their own needs. Current uses include listening to music as well as live broadcasting of events for the average person.
