How do you put a tune in hyperlink on your website?

[SocialMaster200]

SHOUTcast experts--I need your help!

I have a website up and running for my radio station, but at the moment i've put a message on the page saying that if you want to listen you have to go to the SHOUTcast website. But I don't want that, I want listeners to be able to tune in directly from my site. How do you do this? Do you just copy the icon from the SHOUTcast site? Remember that I'm not broadcasting 24/7, so does the hyperlink change every time? How can I alternativly do this if it does?

Please help.

Thanx in advance.

I'm in the same boat you are. The best thing to do is exactly what you're doing. Make a link to your listing on on the Shoutcast directory. if you have a unique station name, you should be the only station on that page. Then, copy the Tune In Button to your hardrive, upload it to your site. Lastly, copy the link that appears in the address bar when you find your station listing and put that into the link. Everytime someone clicks on the tune in button then, it will go to that page and they can see what's playing and tune in from there.

Of course, if you know how to find your IP, you can do what I do and just update the Tune In Button link to your current IP address everytime you broadcast and they can tune in directly from your site.

Edit: In the code posted above, remember to include your port...
http://yourserverip:yourserverport/listen.pls

If your ip does change, go to http://www.no-ip.com and get a static dns for your dynamic ip.

That way, you use something like http://thisis.yournew.staticdns:yourserverport/listen.pls
