Internet Radio Software

There are 3 different pieces of software involved in broadcasting your radio to the audience. Encoding software sends the signal to the server software which then broadcasts to the listeners player.

How it works

The radio show uses encoding software to compress their signal. The signal is then broadcast by the encoder to some server software which then allows listeners to connect with a player.

Encoder Server Player.

Encoding

Encoding software is installed on a computer where the radio show is being broadcast from and compresses the signal and sends it to a dedicated internet radio server with plenty of bandwidth.

Servers

The internet radio server recieves the stream from the broadcasting software and relays it to the listeners player. The radio server requires large amounts of bandwidth to cater for all the connecting listeners.

Players

Internet radio players connect to the server to recieve the radio stream. Most players will do more than just play internet radio.
