Setting up an online radio station might sound like a very difficult job, but with SHOUTcast tools, this should be a matter of a few mouse clicks.

In essence a simple plugin, SHOUTcast DSP Plug-in is able to convert the Winamp powerful media player into an advanced streaming app that can let other users connected to the Internet listen to your music.

Setting it up can be a bit more difficult, but keep in mind that you might have to enable the plugin from Winamp's preferences if you haven't done so during the installation procedure. Also, it only works with Winamp 5.5 or newer, so having the latest version of the player is a must.

The most difficult part of getting the SHOUTcast DSP Plug-in to work is setting up the correct configuration in the 'Output' tab so it can successfully connect. It comes with a non-legacy mode for SHOUTcast v1 server compatibility but if you have the right address and the port is not blocked by your firewall or ISP, things should work fine.

There is an option that enables you to make the server public so that other users can tune-in and listen to your music. During our tests, we used as input sources for SHOUTcast DSP Plug-in Winamp as well as the sound card input. The latter has several mixer control options that give you a better command over the available functions.

All in all, SHOUTcast DSP Plug-in is more than a simple add-on for this popular media player and in case you're looking into setting an online radio station, this one could easily be a top pick.

Winamp is a fast, flexible, high-fidelity music player for Windows. Though its hayday has ended, this very popular mp3, audio and Internet radio player still has a very strong following despite the demise of its former owner, Nullsoft.

Winamp Download Broadcast

This Winamp download is actually the original version of the program before it ceased development. Though there still is a community on the official web site, the new owners of the program have apparently not continued with its development which leaves us with the last stable version 5.666.

With that said, Winamp really does kick the llama's ass. The layout of the media player is a classic style that supports complete customization with skins that are still available for download from sites across the web.

With skins in mind, you can also run a few of the included spectral visualizations that the program has. Although the main winamp.com web site does not contain the library of free visualizations that were available in years past, there are a number of sites where you can download these files which can be placed in the corresponding folder.

It's a media player that supports MP3, CD, Audiosoft, Audio Explosion, MOD, WAV and other audio formats, custom appearances called skins, plus audio visualization and audio effect plug-ins. additional features including free-form skins, a new decoder, built-in cross fade, and an advanced Media Library.

It's also fully compatible with almost all modern versions of Windows including Windows XP and Vista. Not to mention Windows 10.

The culmination of the features that were added in various iterations of the program finally ended with version 5. With that said, it's still completely stable and provides full support for most common audio and video formats, especially Internet radio stations streaming ShoutCast streams.
