Re: Adding a radio link?

I'm pretty sure it does but I think I will go the way of recording the live
programming and adding a link to listen to the previous days broadcasting.
Sounds much easier and less hassel.
Thanks Andrew

Does your broadcast licence cover net-casting? I assume that licencing such

Thank you Andrew.
I still might look into live feed. It does sound a lot more complicated
but
we have the technology to handle. I would consider myself an intermediate
and
somewhat limited in my know how, but am also a very quick study and love
to
expand my knowledge.

However, if you were to record a show during radio broadcast, and then
make
it available on the net at a later time, then the procedure below will
help,
as it outlines how to stream prerecorded audio (Real Media format) :

Can I serve RealAudio/RealVideo files from my web site?

Yes you can. Unless you want to live broadcast a TV or radio station,
pre-recorded RealAudio or RealVideo is just like any other file. In fact,
in
recent versions you can "stream" the media (that is, it starts playing as
soon as you click the link, rather than when the file has finished
downloading) without any special servers.

To do this, you need to create an additional file to accompany the
encoded
RealMedia file. For example, if your username is billybob, and you have a
file called wedding.rm that you want on your website, place the file in
your
web directory, and then create a supplemental file called wedding.ram. In
the ram file, put the compete address to the actual file, like this:

http://www.iinet.net.au/~billybob/wedding.rm

Now, if you link to wedding.rm, it will play wedding.rm in your
RealPlayer
program.

The reason two files are required is the the "ram" file will pass the
responsibility to download the file to your RealPlayer plugin or
program -
which then knows how to stream the file live. If you just go to the
content
directly, your browser will download the entire file first, before
passing
it over to the Realplayer.

The live net-casting sounds a lot more involved, requiring high-end
computer
server(s), appropriate connection and bandwidth to cope with the demand
(eg
DSL or better) even if it is a small target audience such as your church
congregation) and a whole lot of other complicated stuff.

Please forgive if this is not the right group.
I have created a web for my church using frontpage 2002, not yet
published,
and would like to add a link to our radio station which is located in
our
church basement. It's a low power fm station. Is it possible to add a
link
so
someone can listen to our radio feed?? If so, how????
Thank you for any input.
