Feb 23, 2013 You no longer have to enter a Username or Account name in your DJ software. Just leave the field blank.

Jan 28, 2013 There's now a fallback stream which plays music when there's no DJ. As a result, the username is changed to tripradio - the password isn't changed. To get FTP access to upload fallback stream music, pm bod.

Setting up your streaming software

Here's the details you need to know to setup your streaming software.

The screenshots may be outdated. The table below has the correct information.

Port	8000
Mount point	/tripradio
Username (or "Account")	Leave empty
Password	Apply to get password
Streaming format	mp3 only, 128kbit - not 320kbit!

Example of server settings:

butt
Nicecast
Mixxx

Required 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

butt metadata
Nicecast metadata

Basic guide to DJing

If you are totally new to DJing, here's what you need to know:

For Mac, I recommend Nicecast. I think its the best one out there and streams meta information.

For Mac and PC, the butt streaming software is good. However, I do not think meta information can be broadcast:
- Download butt here: http://butt.sourceforge.net

Step 1: Select Stereo mix as Audio device.
- If Stereo mix isn't available, try Virtual Audio Cable
- If you're on Mac OS X, you probably want to use Soundflower to reroute your audio

Step 2: Configure the server as per the server settings above

Step 3: Press Play to start streaming.
