Last year in September, it happened: The ten year old website of SHOUTcast.com had been relaunched. And today? Today it happened again! Since today’s night, the website of SHOUTcast has a new design with several new functions.
Like it had been announced a few days ago, SHOUTcast had announced a couple of changes for the future. In addition to the announced topics, now there is following a bit more information:
The problems with genres are solved
Since today, the problem with genres has been a thing of the past! The problems, particularly in reference to “Elec tronic OR Techno/Dance, seem to be a thing of the past. Can you confirm that? At our stations, it is convenient again…
New design
The design changed pretty much. At present, you can compare the old website in German with the latest website in English. The older version was quite dark, but that finally changed. I like the site in white more than in black. Additionally there is not as much advertisement on the site as before. The genres are taking place on the left site again and are extended, if you choose a main genre. The navigation for listeners is easier now. Moreover there are some new menu items on top.
Toolbar player
Another novelty is the toolbar player, which can be loaded at the bottom of the site. Until now you were only able to open the link via Winamp or any other web player. Nowadays you can load the player immediately on the page.
Settings
Among other things, you get the opportunity to choose the way of tuning in via changing your own settings. Whether you like to use a toolbar player, Winamp or the web player, which is new, too – everything can be set. Just take a look! In addition to that you are able to set your own speed in order to get the most suitable bitrate!
Wiki
Like already said before, there will be a Wiki coming soon. The site can already be reached, but there is not much content right now.
Download SHOUTcast 2.0
From this day forward, the older version of sc_serv and sc_trans cannot be downloaded anymore, only the current BETA versions. You can still find the download for sc_serv 2 BETA 1 and sc_trans BETA 6.
Authorization hashes
In a few days, you can register as a broadcaster in order to get an own authorization hash for SHOUTcast 2.0, which protects you from server hijacking. I think, I am going to make an article about that public.
We come to an end now. By the way, there are just a few days left for you to take part in our raffle, to win a Squeezebox Touch from Logitech.
Evtl. auch ein interessanter Beitrag?

Definitely believe that which you said. Your favorite reason
seemed to be on the net the easiest thing to be aware of.
I say to you, I certainly get irked while people consider worries that they plainly don’t know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top and defined out the whole thing without having side-effects , people can take a signal. Will likely be back to get more. Thanks

It’s truly very difficult in this active life to listen news on Television, therefore I just use web for that reason, and take the most up-to-date news.
