SHOUTcast is a free-of-charge audio homesteading solution. It permits anyone on the internet to broadcast audio from their PC to listeners across the Internet or any other IP-based network (Office LANs, college campuses, etc.).

SHOUTcast’s underlying technology for audio delivery is MPEG Layer 3, also known as MP3 technology. The SHOUTcast system can deliver audio in a live situation, or can deliver audio on-demand for archived broadcasts. We currently host the following SHOUTcast servers:

Almost every streaming media player from RealPlayer to Windows Media Player can be used to listen to SHOUTcast streams. For convenience I’m including Winamp Lite here, my preferred player for Microsoft Windows.
