RadioCaster

RadioCaster is a lightweight software application whose purpose is to help users broadcast audio files on Icecast, SHOUTcast, or other compatible servers.

It sports a clean and simple layout that allows you to perform most operations with just a few clicks.

The program gives you the possibility to pick the audio device (driver, sample frequency, ASIO channels) or enter a valid URL, as well as add the item to be broadcast.

What’s more, you can choose the server type (e.g. SHOUTcast, Icecast), specify the IP address, port, username, and password, select the metadata encoding mode, as well as configure the audio parameters in terms of sample rate, encode type, bitrate, and channels.

RadioCaster enables you to provide details about the stations, such as name, description, URL, genre, and others, and view information about the total number or listeners, uptime, and current track title.

Last but not least, you can tweak the DSP parameters via plugins, make the program run at Windows startup, check the log sections for additional information and possible errors, and change the look of the utility by selecting from different themes.

During our testing we have noticed that RadioCaster carries out a task quickly and remains light on system resources, so the overall performance of the computer is not affected.

To sum things up, RadioCaster seems to be the right choice in case you are looking for a simple-to-use application that offers only a few configuration settings to tinker with. It can be easily configured and installed by all types of users, regardless of their experience level.
