Streaming Audio Tutorial Page 4 — Launching Winamp Once you are done making changes, save the file, close the editor, and restart the Shoutcast server application. To do this, first choose "Kill Server" to close it. In case you accidentally close the console window, you can bring it back by clicking on the Shoutcast icon in your system tray next to the clock. After successfully closing the server, select "Start->Programs->Shoutcast DNAS->Shoutcast DNAS GUI" again to start it back up using your new configuration file. So far so good. Take a moment to contemplate the relationship between Internet Ubiquity, your life and the hypothesized entropic heat-death of the Universe before moving on. Now let's configure our Winamp player to be a DJ so we can program a live stream. Return to the Shoutcast download page and select "Be a DJ." If you don't already have a recent copy of Sonique or Winamp, you'll need to download and install one of them. Click on "Download the Shoutcast DSP Broadcasting Tools" and download and install them. This plug-in lets the player become your broadcasting program. Once you've installed it, launch Winamp and press Ctrl-P to bring up the Preferences menu. By selecting "DSP/Effect" from the left column and "Shoutcast Source for Winamp" on the right column, a new popup window will appear. Ignore that window for a moment and click on "Configure" in the Preferences window. Make sure that "Advanced Recording Mode" is not checked and "Low-pass filter" is checked. The former is unnecessary and the latter is highly recommended. Return to that previously ignored pop-up window to enter information about the server you just installed, configured, and ran.
