I know a bunch of sysops running shoutcast streams, myself included.

That's awesome. Didn't they pull their services several years ago? I could have sworn that I tried to use it, and it was no longer supported or something of that nature.

WinAMP did go away for a while, someone released a bogus version, and
they came back with a new business model and mobile apps.

i had the winamp mobile app in like 2011+. now i see they have some weird version and everyone hates it. it says the author is winamp sa.

the winamp app i had for android looked like the winamp windows program.

Same here, I use old version on desktop and new on IOS. It just broke Apple Car integration recently which is annoying!

Yeah, shoutcast and Winamp are making a comeback. I'm still running realitycheckBBS radio at https://radio.realitycheckbbs.org, have been
for years now.

Shoutcast is alive and well. I ran my station Highway 94 Radio for years on it until recently when I made the move to Icecast2. Both platforms are good for hosting your own and statighforward in getting started, even in Linux.

Was it a license thing? Can you still get free shoutcast for Linux?

Shoutcast is still free, as well as IceCast. There are not charges for license, broadcasting, etc. I wanted to change the base of where the show was listed. Shoucast/IceCast in Linux us very easy to install and maintain. I use Mixx to broadcast to the Icecast server. Most of the configuration work can be completed via CLI for the config files, but the newer versions bascially walk you through setting it up.

Yeah, though winamp tends to crash under Windows 11.

Good morning,

yeah, this was a similiar issue and why I switched over to IceCast and Mixx. Mixx will work with Shoutcast as well, but thought I would try something different. Also, I run the radio server under Linux Mint and there is a ton of information on how to get it working, pretty straight forward.

I ran ShoutCast for years using WinAmp, and although WinAmp released a newer non support version, I still continued to have issues. Mixx is not a bad piece of software (free) once you get used to it. Let me know if you need documentation on the steup and i will be more than happy to share.

Thank you,

yeah, i run it on an InterServer Debian VPS alongside my Mattermost

Yeah, I run WinAMP all day while I'm working on my desktop, and it
works fine. I have a Windows 11 IOT VM I'm testing my kit with, and
WinAMP/Shoutcast DNAS works fine there, too.
