shoutcast

Winamp Goes For A Song!

I have previously written about Radionomy taking over Winamp. Now the news is official Radionomy do now indeed own Winamp and Shoutcast.

Link to article

The deal is thought to be worth between $5 million and $10 million, with AOL taking a 12% stake of Radionomy in the process. When you consider AOL initially paid around $80 million for Winamp in the first place. Radionomy seem to have got themselves a bargain with this purchase.

The offical blurb from Radionomy is Here

What does this mean for the future of both Winamp and Shoutcast? I guess we will have to wait and see. If they decide to start sticking adverts into peoples shoutcast streams It will only mean more people using icecast.

Shoutcast Is Going Nowhere.

It seems there is still a great deal of confusion about what is happening to the Shoutcast listings when AOL shut Winamp down on the 20th of December.

I found this posted on the forums at Loudcity.

SHOUTcast is safe for now and not affected. So it will continue working.

The android purchases should continue to be recognized, as we just check google wallet for a valid purchase order.

However, there does seem to be an issue with the Lyrics add-on not being recognized (or the Lyrics button missing) after reinstalling.

I would normally report this type of issue to the Android team devs… however, they all left a few weeks ago :-(

As for the future, I can’t say anything at the moment due to legal reasons, but let’s just wait and see.

All I can say is people should not jump to conclusions. Don’t believe everything you read on news/tech sites, because a lot of it is based on assumption. I was taught to never assume anything….

If and when there is any update, there will be some sort of official announcement to let everyone know.

Until then, I apologize on behalf of the team for any inconvenience/stress caused, and I thank you for your patience and understanding.

I hope that’s cleared things up for people. It’s just Winamp that AOL are closing down and not Shoutcast.

You can carry on as before and have your station listed on shoutcast.

There is no need to panic.

Bring On The Rc!

Since August last year we have had no less than 33 beta versions of RadioDJ to test.

We now have what looks like a totally different piece of software from the last stable version 1.6.0

Workspace 1_002

Now armed with some really great features RadioDJ is going to give other automation software makers a right royal headache.

These are just some of the great features this newer version has.

  • Automatically overlap sweepers over start/intro/end;
  • Voicetracking support;
  • Integrated Shoutcast/Icecast encoder (by plugin);
  • Now playing artist-title exported to file, web or serial (by plugin);
  • Custom number of auxiliary players (by plugin);
  • Audio Processor plugin (with AGC, Compressor and 10 band Equalizer);
  • Auto skip silence from start and end of the tracks;
  • Backup and restore database option;
  • History window;
  • Intro countdown;
  • Time until sweeper countdown;
  • Time calculations for easier back-timing in live operation;
  • Advanced reporting system;
  • Integrated advanced search;
  • Integrated web browser (by plugin);
  • Every event is announced in the main window, a minute before launching;
  • User set colors for cartwall buttons;
  • Artwork support (by plugin);

    • The next major release will see the program come into the RC stage (Release Candidate) which means the program is just about ready for use in a production environment although I have been streaming my station with most of the beta versions.

    Cheers Marius for all your hard work and great programming skills. We would also like to thank SnowHow for his contribution to the software with his plugins.

     
    So bring on the RC!! RadioDJ is truly a force to be reckoned with.

    Don’t believe us? Give it a try RadioDJ Download It’s FREE so what have you got to lose?
