First off, what makes you think they have anything with the word "audio" in it blocked? Second, if your stream has the word "audio" in it and you really think it's blocked because of that, change the name. Third, in all likelihood, the stations you can hear are probably using RealPlayer which may not be blocked, while the http protocol using ports above 1024 is. >Secondly: With Winamp, Real Player, or Windows Media Player, or OTSDJ, can >they be installed on a web site and can the servers (Shoutcast) be set up on >the site. How would one get the music from one's harddrive to the players. >If this could be done, could the station play all day without worry? Huh? What exactly did you just ask? It doesn't make a bit of difference where any of the components--Shoutcast server, stream generator, media source, web server--are, as long as they have access to each other on your local network through the use of network mapping or mapped drives. This is not an audio issue. >I see regular radio stations with their web sites and play ability.

You can if you register a domain of your own or use the reverse-lookup address you currently have. You can get your reverse-lookup address probably from the web page of your service provider, or if not, just send yourself an email message and look at its headers when it arrives. For instance, I just looked at the header of your message and found the following: Received: from [71.116.176.76] (helo=JARDATA02PC) ... This tells you your machine name but not its registered domain name, which means it probably doesn't have one. Earthlink is famous for this. You now have to go and register, for the princely sum of about fifteen dollars a year, your preferred domain name--jardata.com, for example--and point it to that address. Earthlink may even have a deal and do this for you for a price--a small one, I hope--after which you may have a domain name that could possibly look like jardata.earthlink.net. But you really don't need any of this. Just use the raw address as shown above. Hope this helps. _______________________________________________ PC-Audio List Help, Guidelines, Archives and more... http://www.pc-audio.org To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] This list is a service of MosenExplosion.com.
