Multiple DJs

Alright, we at XMGFree.com are in the process of setting up a radio station. We would like to keep the music on 24/7 and still have radio shows. Is it possible to have someone stream music 24/7 and make Shoutcast disconnect them whenever someone tries to connect to the stream, and set Shoutcast to automatically reconnect after they are through? Actually, I know it's entirely possible because AfterHoursDJs.org does it, but wouldn't reveal details on how.

I do thank you for the help, but I'm not going to pay for something like that. How can I set it up to where when someone disconnects from thier show, someone else automagically takes over without any fuss? We tried it earlier, but it wouldn't knock the person streaming 24/7 off.

sup sup

under ur sc_serv.log

theres this
-----------------------------------------------------------
; BackupFile can specify a mp3 file that will be streamed to listeners over
; and over again when the source stream disconnects. AutoDumpUsers must be
; 0 to use this feature. When the source stream reconnects, the listeners
; are rejoined into the live broadcast.
; Note that the backup file MUST be the same samplerate/channels as the
; live stream in order for this to work properly. Although bitrate CAN
; vary, you can use '%d' to specify the bitrate in the filename
; (i.e. C:\backup%d.mp3 would be C:\backup32.mp3 if you are casting at 32kbps).
; The default is no BackupFile
; BackupFile=C:\intro%d.mp3
-----------------------------------------------------------

i think thats a quick easy fix for multiple on and off djs without losing stream for your listeners
