A windows media encoder and windows server.

fuck windows media, terrible terrible shit

use shoutcast server with the shoutcast plugin for winamp

talking about a shout cast server?

Rather easy to setup

Google shoutcast for more info

Just need a mic and a good connection :)

Or you can set it up on a dedicated server and connect to it remotely

tell him to read this

STFU and signup :winkwink:
HoDough

and some music if you wanna groove :)

haha...ok

Everyone has windows media player, fuck asking people to download some other shit.

Thanks to all that signUP!

Most radio stations that are of any decent size use Windows Media, MP3 and AAC broadcasts. I think the biggest requirement is BW.

windows media player plays mp3 streams

it really doesn't use as much bandwidth as people think...i have a monthly breaks show I do, i get about 40 listeners, and it doesn't even break 5gb a show at 128kbps

Link...?

how can you use a remote server, and record what you are saying on it?

if it's prerecorded, I guess we can just upload the file on the server and launch it from there on a shoutcast server?

what to ppl like ynotradio and stuff use?

Drop me an email at webmaster @ ynotradio.com and I'll give ya the run down on what we use. There's a strong "streamie" and "webcaster" community out there. Plenty of help and assistance for the asking, ya just need to ask the right peeps.
