To use the NoizCast server, there are two key components: Streaming Source and Streaming Clients. For both of these we recommend that you go get a copy of WinAMP. WinAMP includes some plug-ins that allow you to stream to a SHOUTcast or NoizCast server, and also to listen to MP3 streams coming from a SHOUTcast or NoizCast server.WinAMP [This is their home page]
