Hi Chris, Gordon here this time. :) Yes, we are registered NiceCast users and have been so for quite a long time. But although we do now have it set up as a Shoutcast server for our new radio project, we're having to make some decisions regarding the encoder we use. NiceCast won't be used to actually hijack the audio from anywhere, as the machine it is on is a dedicated server machine. But here's the issue we are facing. Lynne bought me a Station Playlist Creator Pro and Studio Pro bundle yesterday. Naturally you have a limit of one station per license. To be honest I don't think it's going to cause too many problems if I decide to use it on my hospital radio broadcasting project as well. I mean, come on,, we're not talking about commercial broadcasting here, just something to help brighten up the day for people who are ill or injured. Can that really be classed as harmful? They sell a stand-alone streaming app if you need to use Studio with a broadcast console. But I'm actually looking for somebody w ho has a little experience with Studio so that I can get a little information. I'm going to break with tradition and read through the documentation. But I really want to be able to switch between liv 24/7 automation mode on one PC and live broadcasting on another. I also want to be able to live automate on our main PC as well. Lynne opted for the Pro bundle because of the need for two configurations and also to accommodate the additional cart machine support. I will hopefully be able to assign the jingles, trails and other spots for the hospital radio station I am working for, (whose name just happens to be "Radio Stitch", strange name, I agree), and the other project whose name is going to be "Sparkle Radio". When I get the website for Sparkle up and running, we'll be looking for broadcasters who want to have a little fun and do a show at the same time. No need to be professional broadcasters, all you need is a desire to share your music and your thoughts with others . But anyway, I digress. If there's anybody on list who happens to have experience with Station Playlist Creator (Pro or Standard) and/or Studio (Pro or Standard), I would be interested in a chat off list so as not to clutter up the inboxes of those who have no interest.

I guess I'm missing something as I do not do any radio broadcasting but I know with that you can broadcast a radio station with either a local server or with an online service like Shoutcast. ======================================= The Techno-Chat E-Mail forum is guaranteed malware, spyware, Trojan, virus and worm-free To modify your subscription options, please visit for forum's dedicated web pages located at http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/mailman/listinfo/techno-chat You can find an archive of all messages posted to the Techno-Chat group at either of the following websites: http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/pipermail/techno-chat/index.html Or: <http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]> you may also subscribe to this list via RSS.
