Broadcasting software for Windows, Mac and phone
Which programs work with RadioHosting.net and which one to pick.
Any program that can send to a SHOUTcast v1 server works. Here are the ones we recommend:
Overview
| Program | System | Price | Good for |
|---|---|---|---|
| BUTT | Windows, Mac, Linux | Free | Talk shows, sending a mixer signal |
| Mixxx | Windows, Mac, Linux | Free | DJ sets with two decks |
| RadioBOSS | Windows | Paid | Full studio automation |
| SAM Broadcaster | Windows | Paid | Studio automation |
| VirtualDJ | Windows, Mac | Free / paid | DJ sets |
| Rocket Broadcaster | Windows, Mac | Free / paid | Simple, reliable encoding |
Broadcasting from a phone
Look for an app that supports SHOUTcast v1 (sometimes called "legacy SHOUTcast"). Enter the same address, port and password as on a computer. Use Wi-Fi if you can; mobile data drops more often.
Which one should I pick?
Start with BUTT if you mostly talk or already have a mixer. Pick Mixxx if you want to mix songs. Both are free.
