Listen to your computer songs anywhere in the air

Recently explored a bit more on the shoutcast to broadcast songs from my machine. It works well with winamp. Download the softwares from shoutcast and install the plugin for winamp appropriately, you are done.

Now open the shoutcast app in your iphone and search for your station. (Make sure you select the option as public radio in yp to search for your radio). Now you are done. You can now listen to your computer songs on your iphone.

One of the features I love it. I would like to extend this for our village benefit, so that we hear village news using this public radio. The bottle neck here is the bandwidth of the broadcaster. I would best use of multicast in this scenerio.

Listen to the blog. More coming.

Internet Radio Station on the Air

It was one of my dream to listen to radio stations from the Internet while driving or in free space without needing any bulky device. With the advanced computing and lightweight chips in electronics Apple made it to happen.

The dream came true with iphone and shoutcast player. You can either listen to the stations available online or you can broadcast your own station from your home pc and listen it everywhere you keep in touch with 3G or on the air networks.

Thanks to Iphone and Shoutcast.
