Understand the stream and what a control panel adds.

Icecast distributes internet audio streams. AzuraCast provides a management environment around streaming, media and scheduling. These names describe different components. For your station, focus on the broadcasting connection, listening address and everyday management. Discuss your setup before assuming specific server options.

Your station in practice

What matters for your setup?

Connect your audio

Compatible broadcasting applications can use Icecast mode. Use the address, port, account and mountpoint from your panel and check the expected audio format.

Use the right listening link

A mountpoint identifies a stream route. A listener URL can differ from the connection a DJ uses to send audio. Share the correct link on your website.

Manage with AzuraCast

Organise playlists, AutoDJ and DJ access in the panel. Combine streaming with everyday management without installing every server component yourself.

Test listener devices

Open the stream on phones, computers and your audience’s players. Test live shows, AutoDJ and any player embedded on a secure website.

One listening page for your Drechtsteden initiative

If presenters work from Dordrecht, Zwijndrecht or elsewhere in the Drechtsteden, agree schedules, DJ access and one listening link. A recognisable station page can bring programmes together.

Listeners may tune in at home, while travelling or on different devices. Choose one clear listening page and test it across devices. For a local station or club, agree who updates the website player if a stream URL changes.

This regional guide covers Dordrecht, Zwijndrecht, Hendrik-Ido-Ambacht, Sliedrecht, Alblasserdam, Hardinxveld-Giessendam. Drechthosting provides support from Papendrecht by phone or online. The internet stream can be heard beyond the region; our AzuraCast VPS servers are hosted within the EU.
