I use a Mac Mini & Nicecast for my fire stream.

What do you need to know?

Thanks Richard,

I know this is supposed to be really easy, and I am sure it is, but I don't really understand what I am supposed to configure in nicecast to have it stream out to the radio reference site.

Can you give me a general overview?

Thanks

Bill

Gordon from RR would have provided you the info you need.
What did he send you when you applied for a stream?

I would also like the instructions. When I applied for the feed on ScanAmerica.us I told them I had an iMac but they still sent me the DOS software. After reading your helpful post I bought NiceCast and have everything ready to go. I just need the server info and directions on where to put the info. Any help is much apperciated!

For Mac & Nicecast settings, please go to the Live Audio Wiki I created today.
I just added a Mac & Nicecast setting section.
This should cover the basics.

This is based on my settings as supplied from Gordon when I set up my Mac & Nicecast.
Some info is from Gordon & some is from me.

Windows is what most streamers use so the supplied set up instructions & software are set out as standard.

So for those who use Mac & Instreamer, I created these WiKi articles as I use both.

Some of the setting's info set to you for the a PC stream will be used in Nicecast.

Thanks for the help, Gordon got back with me and we got it all set up, it works great! Now if I can figure out how to embed the player into an external website

You can find the needed RR settings by looking at the feed owner page for the feed in question.
Then copy & past the Server, Port, Mount, & Password info in Nicecast as needed.
