Radio for broadcasting

Radio (also web radio, net radio, streaming radio, e-radio, IP radio, online radio) is a digital audio service transmitted via the Internet. Broadcasting on the Internet is usually referred to as webcasting since it is not transmitted broadly through wireless means. It can either be used as a stand-alone device running through the Internet, or as a software running through a single computer system(more..)

In this guide, we are focussing on open source applications so that anyone with minimum Linux knowledge can create Internet Radio free of cost.
