There are two main options for running a radio server with us and these are using an Icecast server or a Shoutcast server.What is the difference between Shoutcast and Icecast?Both shoutcast and icecast will be listed on their own Internet Radio Directory. Because shoutcast directory is more popular, this gives you excellent exposure and will likely lead to getting more listeners than you would do on an icecast directory. However if you do not depends from the directories to get your listeners, then you can go with either one shoutcast or icecast. Both Shoutcast v2 and Icecast has mountpoints meaning and automatically transfers listeners from the Auto DJ to the Live stream and back again without needing to manually turn anything on or off. So you connect and all the listeners are transferred from the autodj to the live stream and then back again when you are finished.Firstly it’s worth mentioning that both server types are very similar in what they do but there are some subtle differences you might want to be aware of when choosing your server type.
