Now I DO know what happened! Hey! I fixed the look of the site, and it’s back to the way it used to be. While I was editing my profile, I discovered that you can select the look and feel that you want (I suppose this changes which style sheet is used). This is really cool– I set it back to the way it was.
We will have to think about broadening the uses for this super nice web site in the future, I guess. Operation on AM and FM is now pretty much a non-issue. What about discussions of Wi-Fi?
Wifi streaming? I was wondering if it was possible to use the shoucast dsp with a wireless router to allow anyone to connect and listen to a stream by a specific i.p. adress. Provided they had a wireless card on their pc/laptop.
I would say that’s a qualified YES That will work – if- you put all the pieces in place so the users can access it easily.
Remember there are several layers of technology being deployed here.
First is the WiFi component. I would suggest you set up the wireless router to greet those who connect with a home page that offers a link to your audio stream. That way users don’t need to think about or change any settings on their network connectivity, it’s just like any other WiFi hotspot.
Second, you could be your own shoutcast server, if you wanted to, because the number of folks who might want to log on will be a smaller group of physically proximal folks.
Finally, you could use a local http web server application on your PC so users could have a simple ‘point and click’ experience on your system. I use Analogx’s ‘simpleserver,’ found here: http://www.analogx.com/contents/download/network.htm
So, to put it all together, set up your shoutcast server, set up the local web server and configure your WiFi router to provide a home page when users connect, served by your local http server. Create a link to your audio on the home page that appears when a user connects to your WiFi so the user can simply click the link and the client application will pull the shoutcast audio.

Lots of interesting developments coming up

Hey,
Its a matter of preference. If you like the way the site used to look better than it does now, you can change it! 🙂
We also now support signatures like other websites do. no need to cut and paste your sig in each time!
Hey, we’re trying 🙂
