Shoutcast is a streaming service for radio stations and online radio based on Shoutcast software. The hosting service is responsible for receiving the audio from the broadcaster and distributing it to listeners in real time.
Because it is proprietary software, many hosting providers and radio stations opt for Icecast, another powerful audio streaming software. Icecast is open source software, extremely robust and scalable, which means great capacity to handle a significant number of listeners and traffic, in addition to having been developed to allow the transition between live and recorded programming with greater fluidity.
Because it is an open code, Icecast is more flexible and allows companies, like BRLOGIC, to develop new features in Icecast. BRLOGIC is an all-in-one platform for radio stations with all the features a radio station needs.
