Now the first thing you have to do, is install your radio.
Enter the details carefully, you can edit it later on, though. After you've filled all of the fields click install.
Next, choose your radio's server. Select the server that is closest to you and most of your listeners.
Make sure you remember your IP and port, you'll need those later.
Installing Winamp
Well, now you need to install the broadcasting software from http://www.winamp.com/media-player/all (http://www.winamp.com/media-player/all)
Go to the page and click ''FREE DOWNLOAD''.
Download the file and open it once it has finished.

Go to www.shoutcast.com/broadcast-tools (http://www.shoutcast.com/broadcast-tools)
Download and install the SHOUTcast DSP Plug-In for Winamp.
Once you've done that, open Winamp again and press Ctrl + P.
A window should have popped up, at your left there will be a list, scroll down and click on DSP/Effect.
Now double click on Nullsoft SHOUTcast Source DSP.
Broadcasting
To start broadcasting you need to enter the right details into the broadcasting software.
This is where you'll need your IP and port.
Now go back to the broadcasting software and type the details into the correct fields.
For password, you should use the broadcaster password that you set when you were installing the radio.
Make sure you check - Use SHOUTcast v1 mode
