Hi. There is an excellent audio guide put out by mushroomFm as an
introduction to internet broadcasting. I suggest you give it a listen I
believe the link says something like become a presenter.
They discuss some of the pros and cons to using both pieces of software. It
is possible to do what you want with winamp but it takes quite a bit more
tweeking. If you're in to that kind of thing than it is definitely a free
alternative.
However, Station Playlist studio has a very nice interface especially with
scripts for JFW or window-eyes. Though the JFW scripts are just a little
better. Anyway, SPL does offer a payment plan which I took advantage of
since I couldn't aford the program straight out.
I am a broadcaster on mushroom and would be happy to help off list as well.

Subject: broadcasting software
hello fellow listers:
I'm planning to join the team of djs at mushroomFM sometime in the near
future. I've finally got a mic, all I need now, is the necessary
broadcasting software. I'm trying to decide between Stationplaylist Studio
and Winamp. I've heard that both programs are capable of broadcasting
content online. The only trouble is, I'm on a tight budgit, and can't
aford expensive equipment. Have any of you ever used either of these two
programs? if so, what's it like to use them? Are either of them accessible
with a screen reader? I'm basically looking for software that will allow
me to turn the mic on and off at any point during the show, and be able to
talk over the music and get a balance between my voice and the audio going
out over the air. I know this can be done with an audio mixer, but I don't
have one. Is having one necessary to broadcast online? Finally, does
anyone know of a software program that I could use as a virtual cart
machine to play sound effects? Thanks.
