I had a Live365 account i also used Zararadio to stream to that server as well. What i was able to do was grab a copy of Oddsock Edcast V3 which i use to encode mp3s for streaming to a personal Steamcast server here at the home and to the streaming NOAA Wx Radio. Zararadio can send mp3 tags to a shoutcast type server. – I’m assuming you figured out how to add and activate plugins in ZaraRadio. If you are hosting your stream and you have a router/firewall, you’ll need to open whatever port you are using so can “see” your PC in order to list you on their search engine. I’ve never tried using ShoutCast without WinAmp already installed on my computer so I’m not sure if you need WinAmp on your computer for it to work. The plugin will simply send the stream to a streaming host provider like or others. If you are not hosting the stream from you own computer you won’t need the ShoutCast server program. Instead use the “soundcard input”.Īlso, the “fade between tracks” causes an annoying clicking sound as the combination of ZaraRadio and ShoutCast can’t play more than one audio file at a time. To fix that problem, in the ShoutCast plugin setup, don’t use the recommended “WinAmp” source. One problem I found is that unless you make sure all files are the same bitrate, some of your streamed files will sound like Alvin and the Chipmonks even though they sound fine from your local speakers. I am using ShoutCast plugin along with the ShoutCast server program (both free) to stream from Zara. The older versions of ZaraRadio (pre v1.6) will allow plugins although that has some quirks too.
