LadioCast is a software running on Mac OS X to stream digital audio such as Internet radio program. It has the following features:.
Apr 11, 2009 shows you how to stream to a SHOUTcast server from OSX using your Apple Mac, the software BUTT (Broadcast using this tool) is open.
- You can use the below software packages to stream on a Mac. Virtual DJ 8 (Mac OS X). Streams to Icecast and Shoutcast servers. Free 14-day trial, buy for.
- Mar 9, 2007 - Excellent streaming server for Mac OS X. Almost identical to Windows version, except that GUI is missing in here. Anyway, if you want to start.
Icecast, RTMP and SHOUTcast audio source streaming. Ability to transmit audio streaming to multiple servers simultaneously. Supporting Ogg Vorbis, MP3, AAC, HE-AAC, Ogg Opus and Ogg PCM encoding formats. Equipped a 4in/4out/4bus audio mixer routing audio data from input devices to output devices flexibly. Controllable connection events by AppleScript. SSL supported. La-willy14, Audiojingle Downloaded Ladiocast.
A day later I’m working on some digital recordings and an option for “Audiojingle” shows up in my Sound Preferences system pane. What is this? I can’t find an adequate answer. Etrecheck says it’s probably harmless, but some have found it to be causing errors on their Macs. So I uninstalled Ladiocast.
The uninstall wasn’t as easy as it could be, and I had to find the Ladiocast driver file and trash it in order to get rid of “Audiojingle'. As I’m finding out “Audiojingle” is used in other sound programs. Until I know what it is I won’t be using programs tat run it. La-willy14, Audiojingle Downloaded Ladiocast.

Ok After many hours of frustration and pulling my hair out I finally figured out how to set up the shoutcast streaming server up on my freakin' Mac. So I thought I would share step by step on exactly how I did it. First of all I searched every forumn for hours in order to find all the information. I am an admitted newbie and had no clue as to what I was doing. SO.with that said here we go. 1.) Take a deep breath, go to the fridge and grab yourself a beer (this is a 3-4 beer job).
2.) Go to this address And download the shoutcast server for the Mac. 3.) Go to this address and download the streaming media server for Mac OSX. 4.) Unstuff, Unzip, Unpack, both of the files mention above. And read the readme file- Just read it. It wont hurt you. Before you go any further you need to get a code editor- dont try to use your text editor or some other stupid word program- it wont work- so go here to download this free one. If I had done this from the beginning I would have saved 3 hours.
5.) Ok we are on our way- by this point you should be 1/2 way through your first beer. NEXT open that text editor you downloaded and open the file SCSERV.config and change the variable which need to be changed. 6.) Now open the SCTrans.config file, with the same editor, and change the password to be the same as it is on the previous file. Also change any other parimeters you need to.
7.) Finish first beer, then open your finder and click on applications scroll down until you see utilities, click on utilites and open the Terminal program on the bottom. 8.) Open your next beer and open your System preferances. Click on sharing. Click on Firewall. On port name click NEW. Enter shoutcast for the name and 8000-8001 for the port.
9.) Now if you have a rourter- then you need to open up a port for shoutcast and so forth. You need to read this post. 10.) Open your 3rd beer if you had to read the previous post otherwise drink up.
Now open the terminal window and drag the SCSERV file into the window. If all goes well then you shoud have started up your server.
11.) Open a new terminal window and drag sctransmacosx to that window. If you followed the directions in the readme file and you acually have songs then you have streaming media. Go to this address to see if it works.
Ok good luck with your broadcast and I hope this was helpful- I wish I had this when I started. First off.THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! Im doing a project using Max/MSP and I cna finaly use the shoutcast external. Only problem is that I want to use the sound from my soundcard.
In the example.lst file it says I can do this by putting DSP:/dev/soundcard that in the playlist. (is it ok if I just put that twice at the bottom of the example.lst file??) I can't check to make sure I am connected because here at college they have a gigantic firewall and I can't test over the LAN (which is what im going to use) because I dont know how I would connect, like what URL to type in.
Thanks agan for all your help. And also, what program can i use to listen in?
Obvisouly winamp.but winamp isn't for macs. I would assume realone would work? I hate to keep on adding to my questions, but to get sound to come from my soundcard, the instructions say to use that DSP: path where soundcard is the name of my soundcard, but these comps use the 'built-in audio controller' when I type that should it matter if i have the spaces in there or not? And so far my biggest problem.when i load the sctransmacosx it says it can't find the sctrans.conf file, but its in the same folder. I edited out all the help text so that it is orderly (only because it wasn't working, I tried to rename because the instructions up top that say.

(i guess its referring to playing all the sounds that come from the sound card. For my sound card I put 'audio' because it says normally its auto, and this mac uses the 'built-in audio controller'. Thank you very much for the instructions so far.
I have gotten to the point where my DSP server works, and when I drag the sctransmacosx into the Terminal it seems to work perfectly (it doesn't recognize that i specified a channel and bit rate in the config file). It works just fine, and occasionally it will rebuffer, but thats not the problem. The problem is: I (and my listeners) can't access it. I've tried a site that checks to see if your port is open, and it is. It just says that ther basically is no content. I'm not sure where to go from here. ITunes is probably the best application that I have found to listen on a Mac.
Also, mPlayer will do the same, but iTunes directly recognizes.pls files. ITunes could technically act as WinAmp does on Windows and their shoutcast version, but the developers of Shoutcast would have to make the plugin supported by iTunes. And thats not gonna happen soon. Again, I would like to thank the original poster for the instructions, they have got me almost all the way.
The server works, I can tap into other servers, just fine. All I need to know is the following: How do you set the input to access your soundcard (or mic input) on Mac OS X.
What goes in the playlist file to access that line? Any help is overly welcome! Quote: My problem is with the code editor.
The link that you have posted sent me to a 'new' website (freshly created) and I'm getting some kind of error when I try to download the code editor. Do you know of any other free code editors that I could download? I also found the tidetext link was no longer available.
I found another free text editor, though. But again, mac's TextEdit worked just fine. If you have a recent version of Mac OS X, definitely try its TextEdit application first. If it opens the.conf files, you just change the appropriate parameters and then save your changes.

I had completely missed the playlist parameter in the sctrans.conf file. It took me a while, but i finally realized what the example.lst file was for (it should be included in the sctrans040 folder).
Dlna Media Server For Mac
You can open it with your text editor and change the sample mp3 file paths to your actual mp3 file paths. To find your mp3 file paths you can use the terminal application.
I think the readme document and example.list make reference to this, but it's easy to mess up the unix command, or just not get it right. Once you've opened a new terminal window (or 'new shell') type: find / -type f -name '.mp3' please note that the spaces between the words and symbols are intentional.
This command will bring up a list of all the mp3 file paths located on your computer. You'll want to copy and paste the ones that start with '/Users/yourname/' into the example.lst file-one mp3 file path per line (it will probably automatically paste one path per line). When you're done pasting, do 'save as' and rename it.
Then change the playlist parameter in the sctrans.conf file to 'yourrenamedplaylist.lst' and save. I hope this clarifies some of the setup steps for other mac users.
Web Server For Mac
MacOSX is just freebsd unix compiled for the Apple hardware #!/bin/sh #save as streamer #chmod 755 streamer./scserv scserv.conf /dev/null &./sctrans sctrans.conf /dev/null 2&1 & Those two lines will run both the server and transcoder in the background, so any errors or problems will not show on the terminal window. If you saved those lines in a file called streamer a simple command./streamer would run both for you. No drap and drop since these applications are designed for command line, and if you drag a execuatable to the terminal window it tries to run it from the terminal windows current directory, so if the CONF files are in that folder you will see problems like what was mentioned above (no playlist etc) If you search for linux and my username you will see a few snipets of scripts that make the playlist each time the script starts up, then fires off scserv and sctrans Cheers D.

I found a way, since sctrans was no good for anything other than static audio files. Go to it looks like you have to buy it but it is actually free as the developer has provided a serial key for everyone to use. The app has a Stream option on the Tools menu.
Choose your audio device from the pop-up window's menu and connect to the SHOUTcast server. You only need scserv running, nothing else, minimal configuration. I can't get it to work for anything other than 44.1kHz sampled sources though. Further to my last post, something I've got working is to use scserv and sctrans, where sctrans is configured to have one audio file in its playlist, where that audio file is a named pipe (or fifo - see the man page for mkfifo).
You can then pipe what you like into the input end of that pipe, in essence you end up streaming into a playlist. To achieve this I downloaded and built the LAME, ffmpeg and Portaudio packages.
A few gentle taps with a sledgehammer to the portaudio test program patestrecord led to it outputting the CoreAudio input stream to stdout instead of a file, ffmpeg was used to resample the 48kHz stream to 44.1kHz, and lame then encoded it to mp3 for output to the named pipe. Command line: portaudio/bin/patestrecord ffmpeg -f s16le -vn -ar 48000 -ac 2 -i - -ar 44100 -f s16le - lame -r -s 44.1 -x -b 192 - namedpipe I can post up a copy of patestrecord.c, or if you know of a better way of getting a Mac OS X CoreAudio input stream presented on stdout please tell me!
I did try encoding the raw 48kHz stream direct to mp3, i.e. Missing out the ffmpeg resampling stage and telling lame it was a 48kHz stream, but no matter what I did iTunes always played the stream at 44.1kHz even though it reported the stream as being a 48kHz one. Hence the resampling stage. I think what Im trying to do is a little different than what is being presented here. But thus far, this has been the most intelligible and comprehensive for me to understand. My Dilemma: - I am on Mac OSX - I use Garageband currently (but am willing to use whatever I need to make this work better) for our podcast online.
An internet radio show wants us to go live with them and they have provided all of the port, ip, and other super secret numbers needed to login to their server. I have downloaded the Shoutcast for mac OS and changed the.conf file to fit the needs of our hosts server. When I run the 'sctransmacosx' file in terminal it gives me this: Last login: Tue Jan 15 06:56:11 on ttyp1 /Users/denverrobbins/Desktop/sctrans040/sctransmacosx; exit Welcome to Darwin!

Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much and I will remain very patient, though we were hoping to go live this week.
