Radionomy does reporting as well. StreamLicensing is compatible with DJC Media because it uses Icecast V2 KH. I hope both DJC Media and Ads Wizz and radionomy continue to be in service.
tried radionomy can't create radio. it won't let me past the intial stage it keeps giving me and error about putting in a minimum of two tags when i have 5 in and their forum is about useless.
This was an amusing article to stumble upon. Apparently in Austria, streaming is NOT broadcasting. AND people with radio and TV sets pay the licensing fees for hearing the music, NOT the broadcasters ?!?!?

I heard that before and wondered if or when the United States would try to impose something like that.
In Post # 11 John WDCX asked "What streaming provider Carl uses"
Constantly changing.
Streaming is experimental to me and I continuously change how I'm doing it all in an effort to learn as much as I can.
Right now I'm running 3 streams coming from Shoutcast and Icecast servers over Radionomy and the Icecast Directory, sometimes the Spacial Audio Directory.
Stereophonic Best Quality is being streamed at 64 kb/s 44.1kHz MP3 Icecast, a stereophonic Future Quality AAC stream on Shoutcast at 32 kb/s, and a low bandwidth 16 kb/s MP3 Monaural stream on Shoutcast for Dial-Uppers.
I am the only streaming station using a combination of Zara and Winamp by way of Virtual Cable and the Line Plugin Tool with Stereo Tools Processing.
I average 2.3 listeners per week if they are listeners, there's no way of knowing.
I'm very curious about the new Adaptive Streaming being talked about on This Week in Radio Tech, and so far have not seen open source software for it.
I'm looking forward to trying some of the services being talked about by TheLegacy, MRAM and others.
I pay myself quite a bit for doing this.
i tried to make a live stream on radionomy, they make it virtually impossible to go live. i gave up on radionomy and cancelled the account.
i run radiodj with winamp and altacast plugin @ 64k/44.1 mono grabbing meta tags off radiodj via my lan. the altacast and rdj are on seperate computers and i can control everything via vnc either on my lan or from a remote location. presently running but will ikely pull the plug very soon and just run straight part 15 minus the stream.
This info might help kc8gpd if you want a Shoutcast/Radionomy stream...
Use the Legacy Version, Version 1 of Shoutcast Encoder/Server.
I also never got the current Version 2 thing to run.
To get the older softwares go to MRAM's website.
thats not the issue i can't get them to supply the ip and port to stream to. i need to meet a whole list of crazy requirements before they will give me that info. easier, simpler, and cheaper to just pull the stream.
this whole licensing issue is BS, what is wrong with a simple flat monthly or yearly fee and either automated reporting via your stream or no reporting for non commercial hobbycasters that covers all the organizations!!!!
it does not need to be this complicated except the broadcaster and rights organizations bought politicians to pass this kind of legislation to stifle internet broadcasting and limit competition to all but the biggest already established broadcast outlets.
there is no other reasoning behind this kind of system!!!!
Shoutcast never provided streaming hardware servers, and if Radionomy is doing things the same way, being Shoutcast's new owner, all they are is a glorified YP Directory of stations, with the one added value that they provide encoder/server software which must be run on the users own hardware.
There are supportive websites that provide Shoutcast hardware servers which send your programming out to Radionomy's Directory.
You can use Radionomy/Shoutcast encoder server software to turn your own computer into a hardware server which connects to Radionomy's Directory.
The number of listeners that can be connected to a home computer/server depends on the upload bandwidth provided by your ISP.
Doing it from home uses your own IP address and port.
Here is my service. djcmedia.com/billing/aff.php?aff=012
DJC Media is the service.
I waddled into this website which looks interesting. Let's check it out and make comments good or bad

Site is old but some info still valid for free music. As far as music on your station I'm hoping we can get the royalties lowered.
Latest information from the broadcast law website

Thank you MrBruce for putting that link.
It appears that "hobby webcasters" are being grouped with "commercial webcasters", and that seems odd since hobbyists are more probably noncommercial, for which there seems to be a more privileged category.
Another thing I have yet to hear an explanation for is the matter of classical music webcasters who draw from CD records. The rule about playing only 2-cuts from an album within a week, or whatever it is, would be absurd for classical music, since a single work sometimes occupies many cuts on a whole disc.
