Internet Radio

That's a good start!

A question!

It's easy with the Pi, I have one set up with the old Pi, downloaded "Darkice" and "Icecast2"

I managed to get mine to work headless and portable on the 3G network too, the sound card I used for that project was a Behringer 202UC (about 20UKP on eBay) it was too easy to do, I've stereo streaming from binaural microphones now

"Ices" can stream MP3 files so if you don't want to live stream

Here's some juicy inspirational links:

Thank you very much, I have been checking this thread daily (ish), watching the view count rise, but the comment count stayed steady...at 0.

Let me know how you are getting on.

The ONLY big problem I had was in the darkice.cfg, the line which stated the microphone was "hw:1,0" audio was popping and clicking and speeded up (or slowed down depending on the data rate set), yet, changing the device line to "plughw:1,0" resolved all issues.

Perfect (for my Logitech 910 webcam microphone, and Behringer UCA202)

I'm hoping to use the Cirrus Logic audio card instead of the Behringer UCA202 - and I can't do it yet!

So if you have issues with your sound, try: sudo nano /etc/darkice.cfg

and change the device to read: plughw

ctrl+X, Y and save

[Darkice.cfg snippet below]

# this section describes the audio input that will be streamed

[input]

device        = plughw:1,0           # Alsa soundcard device for the audio input

sampleRate    = 44100            # sample rate in Hz. try 11025, 22050 or 44100

bitsPerSample = 16               # bits per sample. try 16

channel       = 2                # channels. 1 = mono, 2 = stereo

Are you just wanting to stream MP3 files, or would you like to be able to chat too?

That radio web server link is very good by the way, you can point the web server to your Pi's DDNS/IP address and be streaming within minutes after switch on.

Have fun!

I should not have that problem as I only wish to stream music, no voice, but thanks anyways!  And, yes I will let you know how it goes, but I am working on another project and that has higher priority currently.  Making a handheld emulation system, doubles a a project in CAD as I am 3-D printing the case!
