You can access the preferences window by right clicking anywhere along the top of the player. Then click:
"Options" and then "Preferences"

 

The "Nullsoft SHOUTcast Source" configuration window should pop up automatically.

You will get a window that looks something like this:

This is where you will select (from the drop down) your "Input Device" (audio source). The two options available are "WinAmp" and "SoundCard Input" (shown).

If you are playing MP3 files from the WinAmp playlist, then select "WinAmp as your "Input Device". Otherwise, select "Soundcard Input" for all other methods of input.

NOTE: PLease leave all other settings and controls on this tab set to their defaults unless you are very experienced in changing them..

In order to make ShoutCAST broadcast properly, the encoder needs to be set to match the server settings.

For example, if you current pay for a 32 kbps stream, it will be necessary to setup up the encoder to match.

Click the "Encoder Type" drop down menu and choose the "MP3 Encoder" option.

Then, click on the "Encoder Settings" drop down menu and choose the bitrate, sample rate, and channels combo setting that best matches what you are paying for. For example, if you are paying for a 24kbps steam, then you'd want to select the '24kbps, 22.050kHz, Mono" combo setting.

Now click on the "Yellow Pages" sub tab.

This is where you'll put your station's information so that your listener's will know who you are..

Select the check box next to "Make this server public" if you want your stream to be listed in ShoutCast's internet radio listings.

Now, in the text box under "Name", enter the name of your stream (i.e. KMET 94.7FM, or Joe's Classic Hits, or Runamuck Radio, etc.).

Next, from the "Genre" drop down menu, select a genre which best fits the content of your stream.

If you have an AIM, ICQ, and/or IRC account and want your listeners to be able to contact you through any of those accounts, you can put your username or handle into the AIM, ICQ, and/or IRC boxes. If you don't have one or more of those accounts, leave the text box for it empty.

if your audio source is MP3 files playing from the WinAmp playlist, select the check box next to "WinAmp". Otherwise, leave it and the other fields below it unchecked/blank.

Lastly, select he "Connection" sub tab. This is where you'll enter in the server information and credentials which will allow you to connect to the ShoutCast server you will be streaming to.

NOTE: If you are a new StreamGuys customer, the following information can be found in the new account set up letter we email to you once your account is ready to use.

First, locate and click on the "Use SHOUTcast v1 mode..." check box.

Next, in the "Address" text box, enter in the address of the streaming server you want your encoder to connect to. Please note that you DO NOT need to add an HTTP:// or WWW. before the address.

In the "Port" text box, enter in the port number your stream will be connecting to the ShoutCast streaming server on.

In the "Password" text box, enter in the password that your encoder will need to use in order to connect to the ShoutCast streaming server.

Click on the check box next to "Automatic reconnection on connection failure", and change the "Reconnection timeout" to 5 seconds
