Broadcasting to SHOUTcast with Mac OSX

11 Sep 2008 | 3 Comments | posted by James M | in Industry Insider

Here is a common question we get asked quite a bit.

“I want to broadcast a radio station using your SHOUTcast services, but I run an Apple Mac computer and use OS X – I can’t install Winamp and have no way of connecting to SHOUTcast. Is there any iMac Friendly software which I can use to stream to SHOUTcast?”

The answer (You’ll be glad to know!) is YES. We recommend the following 2 tools, which can both stream to shoutcast and be installed on Mac OSX

http://butt.sourceforge.net/ (Free)
http://rogueamoeba.com/nicecast/ (Paid)

The best thing of all, one of these is open source so its completely free. The other is a paid application (Only $40) but they do have a free trial available!

So there is your answer! If you’re on a Mac, you have no excuse not to install one of these and get streaming!
