Seems a lot of people are unhappy with shoutcast.com. Why not use someone else, plenty out there that offer streaming services.

We have our own server, cheap and cheerful


Dear Sir  I have  I7 computer with  shared internet service with dynamic IP .  can you teach  how to convert this pc to my own sever  ?

There is nothing wrong with shoutcast, you are buying from an unreliable shoutcast provider.  He has his own servers and either lacks the knowledge or doesn't manage his business very well.  Look for a better Shoutcast provider. Check around with other local home streaming radio or audio DJ/shows/stations and find out who are they using.

Shoutcast is Crap!
I didn't buy from a "reseller". I dealt directly with shoutcast and it was a joke

There are thousands of satisfied shoutcast stations, users, resellers.  Maybe the problem wasn't shoutcast.

I am a new forum member but I have used Shoutcast and Icecast on my servers for years. Shoutcast has always been reliable and performed well for me. I would suggest that it is the provider/maintainer that is to fault here.

I can say that yeah sometimes it is a little problem but it's not the Shoutcast server! In my case it's the connection to the host were i get my shoutcast from. ( Reseller ) If they have problems with bandwidth, you got the same problem. If it disconnects all the time, check your own network first, check the ISP and than check the shoutcast. Streaming through WiFi ( yeah people do that! ) is asking for problems. Streaming with 256kbps upload while browsing the net, yeah i don't need to explain that one.  Still this happens and people asking how it is possible because they stream with 128kbps. Also 100mbps local networks can be a problem so build a buffer and set up an 1gbps network. Not everything is the blame on Shoutcast.
