Mycaster Do you remember this site

A few years back, and I want to say about 6 or 7 years, there was a site called mycast or mycaster. What this site was about was running your own online radio station. The interface was pretty easy and simple to use. It would also load all your mp3 wav and audio files. All you had to do was create play lists and play them online. You could view how many people were listening to your station, and also see how other stations where doing.It also had options for you to speak as it had a mic option , so you needed a micro phone to speak .I thought that it was a good thing , but i have yet to be able to locate it again. I have not seenit online and I was wondering if any one else had ever heard of it used it or know of simialr sites

There are many topics about this around the forum. There was a tutorial if you want to search through that section to know how to build your own radio station but I don't think it had to do with Mycaster or anything like that. There is something called SHOUTcast over at http://shoutcast.com/ but I'm sure it takes up a bunch of bandwidth for you to put this up on your site.

ShoutCast does use a lot of bandwidth, and so far I have only found one site that offers the service of a totally free ShoutCast server. This site, called Listen2MyRadio is ad-supported but offers the ability to stream live radio from ShoutCast, something which uses collossal bandwidth and server power.

One note, however. You cannot play music by any artist without their prior permission and without a radio licence, whether you are online or broadcasting the traditional way.

thanks for that info . I will look into shoutcast, maybe mycaster was bought out by them.
