Free Platform for Broadcasting Your Own Internet Radio - ubroadcast

ubroadcast provides a free platform for creating and broadcasting your own Internet radio station.

The ubroadcast Station Manager software allows users to make live conversational Internet radio, or a radio that broadcasts music, with support for playlists, broadcasting downloaded mp3s, advertisements, and other pre-recorded audio files.

In principle, the idea of ​​custom radio stations is not new. Live365 and Shoutcast have been working on this principle for a long time, and ubroadcast differs from them only in its free and easy use.

Setting up the broadcast takes no more than five minutes. Station Manager is downloaded very quickly (distribution size is ~ 5 MB), and the registration form opens immediately after its launch - to verify the entered data, you need to specify your credit card number, which I did not do :) Immediately after registration, users can start broadcasting content , download music from mp3, or select music downloaded by other ubroadcast users.

The only disadvantage of the service is the need to use a special player ubroadcast Player . But the head of ubroadcast explains this by saying that such interactivity can be achieved only with the use of their player. There is no support for broadcasting in Real, or Windows Media, but you should not forget that this is a free product ...

PS: Well, for those who love classic rock (Pink Floyd, The Who, Led Zeppelin, etc.) I want to offer to join me and start listening to The Core radio. Since the search in the player does not work yet, you can connect to this radio as follows: Stations → Independent Music Broadcasters → Rock / Metal → Classic Rock → The Core.

UPD: Judging by the comments, I concluded that a small number of people understood the “zest” of this service (namely the service, and not the client-server applications). ubroadcast Station Manager differs from vlc, vls and shoutcast in that it is not a server software broadcasting on the Web, but a client uploading all your tracks to ubroadcast.com server - so when broadcasting your traffic will not go anywhere ... Yes upload to server all you get is free, because for outgoing traffic in most cases, do not take money.
