SHOUTcast
The SHOUTcast DNAS (Distributed Network Audio Software) server is available for
Windows, Linux, and Mac OSX at: www.shoutcast.com. It is freeware, but not open
source. This was the server that started it all, developed by Nullsoft, the people who created
Winamp. The software is now in the hands of AOL, who don’t seem to be investing much
in its continued development. Neverthess, it gets the job done.
Here are the user instructions, taken from the SHOUTcast site:

3. Start up the SHOUTcast Radio server by double-clicking on SC_SERV.EXE
4. Click on the “Edit Config” menu option located at the top. This will start the default text
editor, opening the configuration file for SHOUTcast DNAS application. Follow all the

5. Once you are done making changes, save the file, close the editor, and restart the
SHOUTcast Radio DNAS application.
