Since the server we run the website and stream on needed to have Linux reinstalled, we decided to upgrade the Shoutcast software at the same time. The latest version of the Shoutcast DNAS server is a major change over the older version we had been using, so we’re having to learn the differences on-the-fly.. The station will be back up as soon as possible, and as a plus, will also be listed on the Shoutcast station listing…

UPDATE: Sept 20.. We got some help from the whizkids at Shoutcast and got the 64K stream up and running. We’re nearly back where we were prior to the upgrade. The only thing not working is the “Now Playing” script. Since the Shoutcast DSP shows whats playing completely different that the old ICES DSP we’d been using, the old script won’t work, so we’re learning XML on the fly.. Hopefully, we’ll have both the “now playing” functionality AND a 128K stream up and going soon…

UPDATE: Sept 24.. Finally figured out the incantations needed to get the currently playing song AND as a bonus, the upcoming song also. Implemented it on the front page, so everyone can see what’s playing before they start their player. Still working on the 128K stream. That may be a while longer, as other projects are bidding for our time. We’re also now at 32 listener slots vs the old 20 slots AND we’re listed on Shoutcast.com, which should bump up listenership..
