Best Encoder for the MAC

nesNYC · 13th December 2003, 01:05

What the best encoder (preferrabley free) for the MAC OS 8, 9 and X. How does the DSP work in the MAC environment. I have a few people on MAC's that need access to my shoutcast server but I haven't the faintest clue as to what ecoder they can use to connect...

Can you provide links if such software is available?

Much appreciated for your time

use sc_trans, it will work in OSX. Find it in the 'Be a DJ' download section of SHOUTcast.com

Thanks KXRM! So I guess the only MAC OS supported would be OSX right?

well from a nullsoft standpoint yes, but I am sure there maybe some MAC based players that support streaming to shoutcast, at least there used to be a while back.

yes there is a kick ass encoder called nicecast that has just come out....i use it....it rocks!!!!!!!!

it is done by the rogue amoeba crew and is much better than sc trans. i have streamed with sc trans (which is good), audion and now this....i stream to a shoutcast server with it no probs

check it....

oh, i forgot ...u mentioned free, right? well nicecast is by far the best for mac but it isn't free....once u use it tho u won't mind paying for it.....

but if u do really want a free player for mac then use macamp

do a google search for mac amp maltx and u will find it. it was done by a few of the people from rogue amoeba.

and goodluck
