If you plan on running an AutoDJ on your radio server, when you want to play live you will have to turn off the AutoDJ feature in the control panel manually yourself and then on again when you have finished. It's hasn't been developed or updated for over 10 years. You can no longer use web based players. 
This gives you excellent exposure and will likely lead to getting more listeners than you would do on an Icecast server.
Your station is listed on the SHOUTcast directory and syndicated out to many other radio directories. Shoutcast Servers (Version 1) - (No longer offered by us) Only setting the one genre could be an issue if you play multiple different genres on your station. But with this Shoutcast v2 now also forces stations to only set the one genre type (and a sub genre) for their station as they now want to normalise the genres and just limit everyone to one each. Shoutcast v2 now requires you to create an 'Authorization Key' (Authhash) for your stream so that it can be registered for the SHOUTcast directory and as a 'Public' stream. So when a live source is connected, the stream is seamlessly crossfaded automatically between the AutoDJ feature and the live source and also vice versa. Shoutcast v2 provides automatic transitioning between the AutoDJ feature and live streams without needing to manually turn anything on or off like with the older Shoutcast v1. You can ban listeners by ip or subnet from within the admin interface. This gives you good exposure and will likely lead to getting more listeners than you would do on an Icecast server. Your station is listed on the SHOUTcast directory and syndicated out to other radio directories too. NICECAST COST SOFTWARE
It is open source software and regularly updated.You are listed on the Icecast directory.So when you connect a live source, all of the listeners are transferred from the AutoDJ mountpoint (/autodj) to the live stream mountpoint (/live) and then back again to the AutoDJ mountpoint (/autodj) when you are finished. Icecast has "fallback mount points" meaning that it can automatically transfer listeners from the AutoDJ to a Live stream and then back again without needing to manually turn anything on or off.
This thread will discuss some pro's and con's of each.įirstly, it's worth mentioning that all three server types are very similar in what they do, but there are some subtle differences that you might want to be aware of when choosing your server type. There are three main options for running a radio server with us and these are using an Icecast v2 Server or a Shoutcast v1 / Shoutcast v2 server.
