stream 24/7, build a website, target a specific audience and play what they wanna hear.

KXRM when you say list in shoutcast.com, what exactly do you mean? I've noticed sometimes I hit 30 listeners and I'll be on shoutcast.com, sometimes I'll have 5 and I won't be on shoutcast.com. Is there a way to always be listed?

1. Error free DNAS
2. Public DNAS
3. DSP yellowpages tab filled out
4. DSP yellowpages tab "make this server public" checked

***********

"yp added me" means your station information (station name, bitrate, maximum number listeners, current number listeners, currently playing song, ...) has been added to the SHOUTcast yp (yellow pages) directory.

"yp touched" means your station information (station name, bitrate, maximum number listeners, current number listeners, currently playing song, ...) has been updated in the SHOUTcast yp directory.

It can take up to 15 minutes after the first "yp touched" message before your station appears from a SHOUTcast yp search.

Jay · 24th July 2003, 00:49

rocketgirl · 24th July 2003, 02:27

oh...where'd you find that?

Jay · 24th July 2003, 02:57

part of your problem also is you use non-standard genre's there is no 'lo fi' genre so go ahead and get rid of that and replace it with something that the winamp radio genre list has in it and matches what you play or do on your station.
