Click here to hear what Shoutcast servers sound like. Sound quality depends on bandwidth (yours and the listeners') and the number of people that you allow to listen to your channel.

Note: If you're behind a firewall, only people behind that same firewall will be able to hear your station.

Step Two
Go to Start • Programs • Shoutcast DNAS • Edit Shoutcast DNAS Configuration. Read the instructions contained in this file and change any settings that you need to. Depending on your connection speed, you can configure the number of user connections and transmission bandwidth as well as set a password and name for your channel. Close the Configuration file when you're done.

Step Three
Download the Shoutcast DSP Plug-in for Winamp and put it in Winamp's plug-in folder. Open Winamp and go to Options • Preferences • Plugins • DSP/Effects. Select Shoutcast Source For Winamp and click the Configure button. Make sure that all of these settings (especially the password!) match the settings that you chose in the Shoutcast Server Configuration file. Click OK and close the preferences.

Step Four
Put the MP3s that you want to play in your Winamp playlist by pressing the PL button in Winamp and dragging and dropping the files into the Playlist window.
