Broadcast in an AIM chatroom

[tb28025]

I have searched many times through varias sites and still i cannot find information which would tell me how to broadcast in an AIM chatroom. Could someone please help me?

I'm not sure there is a way to do so. Please explain in more detail what you're trying to achieve.

In other words, have you seen someone else do it with shoutcast?

..While your talking, set your Recording Mixer's input from "microphone" or soundcard input to "mixer".

There is no point in doing this. AIM, YIM, and similar chat rooms broadcast at 24kbps or (much) less, and often people experience breaks when listening. If someone wants to hear your station, there's nothing stopping them from clicking your listen link.

well about a 6 months ago I came across an AIm chatroom and they were broadcasting rap music through it. I only remember so because everyone was telling him to leave, they didnt like his music, i dont care for rap myself so I remembered it so.

Well, he was probably just playing a song with winamp or whatever and playing it through his microphone.

I'm not really sure how it can be done, especially with SHOUTcast. You could always give Chris' suggestion a go.

[protegechris]

Yeah, with AIM voice chat, (I dont use, but its just like yahoo's), You can cofigure your mixers like i said earlier, and while you hold the talk button down, the music will be heard by the other person / people.

[tb28025]

I'm guessing ethier one question per person or im suppost to post another topic. Anyway it has been 3 days and no reply. Whatever happens i apprieciate all of your help.

Just have people click your listen link, it would sound alot better than sending it through a microphone.

It sounds like you are not launching the GUI - you are launching the shell/dos based SC server.

There is an option to install the "GUI" in the installation, Maybe try running it again.

Thank ya'll i was listening to my own station. I didn't even know it. One last question please (I've been saving up trying my questions. I researched SHOUTcast on my own and have found most of my answers on 3 i havent found) Is it possible to broadcast 2 different stations with each having a different source from the same copmuter? I'm going to get a new soundblaster card so I will have 2, maybe it would be easier to use 2 cards. This is my last question and i will be out of your hair. Ya'll are really nice people, Thanks.
