I was updating the OS on my server that runs quite a few processes and one of the processes was the Icecast stream I tunnel the stream through that is not on the same server as my Shoutcast or audio library. I didn’t realize this until I was headed to bed tonight and wanted to listen over Icecast to my music stream.
Well downloaded and configured the stream made sure firewall let proper ports through, matched up usernames and passwords and I’m back to streaming over Icecast!
The groundhog said there will ba an early spring so to increase that swell of good will I am going to pump out some smooth sounds to help bring on the rush of sprint time weather!
Bringing it with a little Al Green, George Benson, Richard Elliot, Vanessa Williams, Linda Ronstadt, Rufus & Chaka Khan, Trey Songz, Melody Garbot, Tony Bennet and so many more….
Oh yeah its already started so just tune in….
You can listen at the following bit rates with Shoutcast supported audio players (I use Winamp or VLC) :

” http://dhoytt.com:8000/320kbps ” 320kbps
Some audio software/streamers/players tend to want you to listen in this format:

You can cut and paste the above links between the quotes into a browser and they will pull up your audio player, enter the links into your player or click on one of the players or links on the site @ http://www.dhoytt.com/snake-ice-radio-blog/ .
When I listen at home I listen to 320kbps and when at the gym listening on my mobile phone I listen using 128kbps using Winamp mobile, VLC or Xia Live. In areas where reception is not good I do 32kbps.

Join me in listening to some wild and eclectic music with the very nice blend of hard core and wild genres from the near releases and some hard and wild sounds I reached back into the past for.
I mean I have some head banging rock, thumping rap, Hip-Hop blended in with some of the wilder poo and everything in between for this work out compilation for the next few hours that will go a little before and after the workout.
I’m listening to the station on my “Winamp” mobile application while in the gym. There are several apps that stream Shoutcast streams on all mobile phones, all you have to do is drop type “dhoytt.com:8000/128kbps” or “dhoytt.com:8000/32kbps” or even “dhoytt.com:8000/160kbps” if you connect to the gym’s WIFI.
I used the “dhoytt.com:8000/128kbps” whether mobile or connected to the gym’s WIFI.
We have a little “Guns & Roses, Nickelback, Run DMC, Madonna, 2pac, Notorious B.I.G, Outkast, Public Enemy, Remy Ma, Bootsy, Gap Band and much more!

You can still access the streams with the above but you must type or paste that into a media player such as Winamp or VLC.
To access via a browser just to get the link up you would use the following format or also place in your media player of choice:
– For 32kbps:
o http://dhoytt.com:8000/listen.pls?sid=1
– For 128kbps:
o http://dhoytt.com:8000/listen.pls?sid=2
– For 160kbps:
o http://dhoytt.com:8000/listen.pls?sid=3
– For 320kbps:
o http://dhoytt.com:8000/listen.pls?sid=4
The Listen Links have been modified to work on my website as well just click the appropriate link and it will open up a file that will activate your preferred media player in your OS or it will give you the opportunity to delegate your favorite media player.
You may need to go into your browser and tell it how to handle the content type, I’ll have more detailed information on this later.
The three embedded Flash Player Links at the top work just fine by clicking on the bit rate your choose to stream at.
