changing source with out disconnecting listeners

Post by welly_59 »

I'm running a shoutcast server which streams a radio station. All our djs play live and are in different locations. i was wondering how to change between djs with out disconnecting the listeners

We do the same but we have the benefit of using a chat server to switch DJ's
Here is another method you cna use if you practice and depending on the lag of your DJ's you can normally make the switch effortless, use a messenger service either MSN or Yahoo they have less lag then ICQ or AIM.... have them count the next DJ down from say 1 minute then when the last song play s they disconnect and type go to the new DJ coming on when done correctly the station is down about 10 seconds and the listeners never even notice it...
