Here's the details you need to know to setup your streaming software.
Server software | Icecast2 |
Hostname | tripsit.fm - not tripsit.me |
Port | 8000 |
Mount point | /tripradio |
Username (or "Account") | Leave empty |
Password | Apply to get password |
Streaming format | mp3 only, 128kbit - not 320kbit! |
Note: Sometimes the "/" in Mount Point "/tripradio" is not required and added automatically. If you cannot join, try removing the "/" and try reconnecting. If that doesn't work, go back and add the "/". For whatever reason, it can be very finicky sometimes.
Use this stream for testing before applying for the main server password. The testing stream is not public. You can listen at http://tripsit.fm:8000/tripradiotest - try testing it on your mobile phone or another computer to see if the audio quality is good.
Server software | Icecast2 |
Hostname | tripsit.fm |

The screenshots may be outdated. The table below has the correct information.
All DJs have to set up their streaming client like this:
Stream title | [TRIPRADIO] - WWW.TRIPSIT.ME - #drugs @ irc.snoonet.org |
Stream description | Your IRC nickname |
