How To Create a Radio Station Online

I wrote this tutorial after Mike’s post about “seocheckout Radio Station” because I know that not everyone is familiar with those things, even though that is pretty easy and really fun.

I have created a lot of online radio stations before, so you can trust me because I know what I’m doing How To Create a Radio Station Online , anyway this is only one of many ways that can be used to set-up your radio station for free without any cost.


What you need ?

  1. Winamp Player | Click here to Download it
  2. SHOUTcast Plugin for Winamp | Click here to Download it
  3. SHOUTcast Account | SHOUTcast Website



SHOUTcast is really amazing and completely free broadcasting service, definitely it’s the best service that you can use to start your own radio station.

They also allows you to generate revenue from your radio station, if you choose free streaming service they will play automatically ads for your listeners based on their location, you’ll get revenue only if their monetization platform is available in your country. Currently it is available only in some countries.

In order to use their free service you need to trigger ads, you can find more details in this regard from the email that they will send you.





They offer two streaming options:

1.Free Streaming Service(Self Hosted)
You don’t need to host anything on your server or somewhere else, because they offer free hosting with unlimited bandwidth for your streaming service, basically you need only one account there and that’s it.

2.SHOUTcast (DNAs)
You can host the streaming software to your server, I would not recommend this unless you have a powerful server and enough bandwidth to stream.


Let's Start!

1.Go to SHOUTcast and register your account.

2.Next, after confirming your account, login to SHOUTcast , then Click toCreate a Radio station” after that you’ll need to choose one of two streaming options as is in photo below.

Wow, this is pretty detailed How To Create a Radio Station Online

I wonder if you could set up a live video stream to compliment the radio station and have it all work together. I know you can stream through twitch.tv and youtube, but I'm not sure if you can integrate them into your system to auto stream when the radio station is up and running. I think twitch is more for online gamers wanting to stream so you'd probably have to go with youtube if you want to avoid the tedious (not really) task of downloading and uploading your broadcast to youtube. And even then, youtube will probably have a probelm with everything if you have ads playing in the broadcast since they paste their own ads on your videos sometimes. Having conflicting ads will probably piss off advertisers if it's ever caught How To Create a Radio Station Online

Do you know of anything that can be used to combine both a radio station and a live video broadcast of it at the same time? I know a lot of DJs do that but have them marketed differently so that they can bring in people who like the radio aspect and others who want to watch it like it's a tv show. With the live video you can also record behind the scenes stuff which comes in handy sometimes How To Create a Radio Station Online

I actually never thought of creating a radio station on my own, but now it's looking like it could happen, at list for fun and try how it could work. Already few ideas bumped up on mymind...
I am not using WinAmp for long time either, so i guess you can broadcast only sound files by using it. Is there possibility to broadcast live voice too??? It would be great, if can be done How To Create a Radio Station Online

This sounds like a good idea to sell advertisement space. I'm not very familiar with audio though so I'm not sure how it would work for me. I know exactly what niche to target however my niche doesn't like advertisements at all, so I may have to use my ninja skills to think of advertisements that are not really "advertisements" or have the same model as advertisements do, if you can understand.

Also, this is very cool. Think of all the possibilities of music, and cool stations that just the regular person would create How To Create a Radio Station Online More opportunities for the little guy/gal, yay!

Is there a visible counter on the song player to display how many times a certain song has been streamed? I am very interested in this great post by the wayHow To Create a Radio Station Online

Is there anyway the number of streams or plays can be displayed for everyone to see on the song or songs? Or is there another type of radio station you can create for yourself that includes that feature even if you have to pay a monthly fee?
