We’ve just made it really easy for our clients to publish their song history live onto their websites.
Just with all of the other server data, due to popular request - we’ve added some Javascript to our Wavepanel system, which allows clients to put the song history on their websites from their SHOUTcast servers.
Add SONG history from SHOUTcast to your website.
Just a quick post, for those of you who haven’t already seen it, SHOUTcast have re-launched their official website.
It boasts a new design in preperation for SHOUTcast Version 2, which will be launched soon (we hope!).
Check out their website; www.shoutcast.com/
All Wavestreaming SHOUTcast Hosting customers will be upgraded to the new server software when it is released.
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!
Yet MORE social networking! This one will actually be a bit more informative. We are going to be making videos, to talk about all things streaming. James Mulvany our client manager here at Wavestreaming, introduces the new VideoCasts…

Independent SHOUTcast review website Radiotoolbox.com has given Wavestreaming the thumbs up. Out of around 20 other streaming companies, Wavestreaming is the only SHOUTcast stream host that has managed to sustain a uptime of 100% since the start of the 2008 year.
Other uptime records range from an appauling 25.787% through to a very close 99.960%. However, no other companies listed on the radiotoolbox site have managed to sustain flawless 100% uptime record.
Wavestreaming are very proud to have made it over 6 months into the year with an uptime record as good as this. It just shows our ongoing efforts and commitments to provide a high quality streaming service, utilizing a premium network which many other providers do not.

We’ve had a number of requests in the past for Stream Geo Locking. This basically looks at the listener IP address and if they are in a country which is ‘disallowed’ from your stream - will not let them connect. It will then re-direct them either to a page on your own website explaining the geo-locking policy (allowed countries etc) or it will display a generic message explaining this.
This was introduced to our services a few months ago and is available to all SHOUTcast clients at no extra charge. Just look in the ‘Advanced’ section of your SHOUTcast server in Wavepanel and you’ll see an interface whereby you can set it up.
We have recently launched 2 new servers to serve Wavestreaming SHOUTcast hosting clients, this will provide an extra 200mbits of premium bandwidth to our already impressive network of dedicated streaming servers.
These new servers are based in our favorite UK and US datacentres, which over the past 4 years we have found highly reliable;

Our new UK server ‘Spring’ also has a cutting edge operating system, Windows Server 2008 - which Microsoft released at the end of last month. We are one of the first streaming companies to have access to this technology and we are excited to try out the new features on the latest version of Windows Media Services.
All new SHOUTcast signups are currently being put onto these fresh new servers! You can sign up via our website today. http://www.wavestreaming.com/
