Hey there. I'm new to SL, and looking into becoming a DJ, but I have no experience doing this on SL (obviously). I just bought a parcel of "first land," strictly for setting up my own music, so I can practise DJ'ing in SL.

The problem is that I can't seem to figure out how to get the music to play in SL. everything seems to be working in WinAmp and my DNAS Server, Spacial Audio, seems to be up and running. I have 16kbps bandwidth, with a 20-listener capacity (the bare minimum). I have pointed my land media prefernece to the URL it says to point it to, but I'm not getting anything. Do I need to point my land media preference to a SHOUTcast URL, and if so, how/where do I find my broadcast from Spacial Audio in SHOUTcast?

Thanks in advance for any help.

i am by far, not the best person to talk to about numbers within djing urls.

i have learnt, if you want the url to play in game, you can also just right click the banner of your winamp (scrolling text) adn it will give you the url.

also if you are running music in game, above the url line, in your "about land"/media. there is a box ,just click it to restrict music to your parcel. that seems to work too. if that is done then just restart your music control, just down by your chat line. should hear it fine.
to hear from land, just hit the mute button on SAM. and turn on the music in game.

just the little stuff i know, if you have any concerns just IM me in game, i would be happy to help.
