I am using Winamp, Icecast2 Server, and Edcast. I believe I have set these
up properly so that I can set up and broadcast an internet radio station.
These are the links I used to help me:
https://www.pcworld.com/article/190705/start_your_own_internet_radio_station_for_free.html
https://www.fastserv.com/kb/article/edcast_winamp_-_easy_steps_to_streaming_to_icecast_or_shoutcast/
http://icecast.org/docs/icecast-2.4.1/
Also, here is my icecast.xml file:
<icecast>
<!-- location and admin are two arbitrary strings that are e.g. visible
on the server info page of the icecast web interface
(server_version.xsl). -->
<location>Earth</location>
<admin>paavo</admin>
<!-- This is the hostname other people will use to connect to your
server.
It affects mainly the urls generated by Icecast for playlists and
yp
listings. You MUST configure it properly for YP listings to work!
-->
<hostname>71.115.185.54</hostname>
<!-- IMPORTANT!
Especially for inexperienced users:
Start out by ONLY changing all passwords and restarting Icecast.
For detailed setup instructions please refer to the documentation.
It's also available here: http://icecast.org/docs/
-->

<header-timeout>15</header-timeout>
<source-timeout>10</source-timeout>
<!-- If enabled, this will provide a burst of data when a client
first connects, thereby significantly reducing the startup
time for listeners that do substantial buffering. However,
it also significantly increases latency between the source
client and listening client. For low-latency setups, you
might want to disable this. -->
<burst-on-connect>1</burst-on-connect>
<!-- same as burst-on-connect, but this allows for being more
specific on how much to burst. Most people won't need to
change from the default 64k. Applies to all mountpoints -->

<!-- Global header settings
Headers defined here will be returned for every HTTP request to
Icecast.
The ACAO header makes Icecast public content/API by default
This will make streams easier embeddable (some HTML5 functionality
needs it).
Also it allows direct access to e.g. /status-json.xsl from other
sites.
If you don't want this, comment out the following line or read up
on CORS.
-->
<http-headers>
<header name="Access-Control-Allow-Origin" value="*" />
</http-headers>
<!-- Relaying
You don't need this if you only have one server.
Please refer to the config for a detailed explanation.

<!--<master-server-port>8001</master-server-port>-->
<!--<master-update-interval>120</master-update-interval>-->
<!--<master-password>mikey</master-password>-->
<!-- setting this makes all relays on-demand unless overridden, this is
useful for master relays which do not have <relay> definitions
here.

If you can help me correct any incorrect settings so that I can broadcast,
please let me know, or direct me to the proper person/website.
Thank you.
