You are not putting the port number in the url.

The port is after the : for example: http://www.musicserver.com:portnumber goes here/station

So your url will read if using port 8000 on your streaming server: https;//cdsitalodisco.radiostream321.com:8000/

Give that a try and let me know if that's what it was.

I just checked the Url and it is the URL to your online player.

That address will not work in the game radio.

You need to find the exact address of the streaming server itself.

So you need the URL for the shoutcast server, and use that for the radio.

A way to tell if you are connecting to the server is put the address in a web browser and the shoutcast server interface should come up. Make sure you format it with the port number as I explained previously.

If you can connect to it this way, it will work in 3DXChat radio.

The radio functions on HTTP streaming protocol so it works in a web page as well.

And where to find this address?

now im completely lost.

The info you are looking for is the first red box.

Where it says port at the bottom that you have redacted is the port number. It should look like so:

http://freeuk30.listen2myradio.com:PORTNUMBER HERE

If it doesn't work try replacing the url with your ip that you have redacted as: http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:PORTNUMBER no one can see your stream address when they connect to your server, but either way is not a security risk as both go to the same place and are public anyway.

If it is a secure connection change to HTTPS

Try out Mixxx it is a lot better in my opinion. It is free and has way more features also.

If you want to try out a paid version, I highly recommend RadioBoss.

Winamp is old and all they did with the new one is, revamp the horrible code.

If you decide to try it and need help setting it up let me know and I can probably walk you through it.

But lag will always be present. I have a pretty fast setup and the lag is right around 8-10 seconds.

And yes you can adjust the buffer also. Often known as "Playback Buffer" if you set it too low your playback will stutter so be careful.

you will have issues using spotiamb as it uses shoutcast v1 protocol.

there is another encoder I found that will stream spotify playlists but I did not like the audio myself as I am an audio snob but for the average person I am sure they will find it useful.

it is called foobar2000 and you have to dl the spotify component to get it to work, and the encoder you want to use is in there called Vorbis streamer add that and you can set up your server in there.

foobar2000 is also open source freeware as well. Hope this is helpful :D

Very matured answer. You think i didn't searched? I did and if i will found solution/instructions will not ask here...where you 2 years ago did this as you mentioned in quoted post. Till now you helped a lot...thank you....and i expected you will also in this matter.

1. Winamp works, but have many problems

2. Virtual DJ also works, but i do not need souch a complex app.

. Im using Foobar for ages and this will be perfect solution...but simply can't get stream from it to work.

So again...if you have any suggestion/solution...beside GOOGLE...please...share it.

Thank you.

I don't use Foobar, I use RadioBoss, so I can't help with Foobar.

Sorry

We turn your radio off , as we identify that your listeners listen not through subdomain we provide you.
The only way i get my stream ingame is http://ip-adress:port nothing works with any subdomain i tried

 

My radio works the same as it does in both games and I use a domain name, FYI if you have ssl stream it will most likely not work as I believe 3dx radio server is non ssl and an ssl stream will not play on a non ssl server site. They call it mixed mode. I have my icecast server setup as a non ssl server so I don't run into this problem, and ssl is not really needed for an icecast/soundcast server anyway. If you would like to try my server to see if that is it message me and I will loan my stream to you. It is playing rock and metal just to warn you lol. If it works for you ssl is the culprit.

Does this Method still work here in late 2023? I just got the game and am looking to become an Dj because im tired of listening to Dad Rock!

 

I personally haven't had a chance to check it recently, but I noticed that the website is still operational and appears to maintain its familiar layout. Unless there have been significant internal changes, I don't see any reasons why it wouldn't function as expected.
