Intro File?

Shadow712 · 13th July 2005, 06:44

What exactly is the intro file?

and How do I specify it to a certain track that I want?

intro is short for introduction, wich means as soon as somebody connects to your broadcast he/she hears first the introduction to you station before hearing what you stream at the moment.

2- well you know how to change things in your dnas config , so finding this one should be a walk in the park ( or easier)

But doesnt the intro file have to be in the same directory as the server?

why? can't thinks of one single reason why it should, you just point to it

introfile = c:/programfiles/introfile.mp3 ( this is an example)

Alright i set my intro to my bitrate which is 80 on my shoutcast source...now How do I make a file and set it to my intro?

you take a station call or any bit of music (mp3file) that you think is suitable for an intro file, you make sure that the bitrate and samplerate is exactly the same as your broadcast.

you open the config. of the dnas scroll down to the introfile part , add the place where your introfile mp3 is located and remove the ; before the line introfile= d:/my folder/my music/introfile.mp3
kill server , restart and it should work.

Dunno, im sure i read somewhere that the intro has to be in the same directory, im sure it was in the actuall server config file above the property intro file.

you could be right, like i said as far as i know it can be anywhere.

only way to find out is to try it.
