9. Now focus on the Encoder tab.

Click the encoder tab. Encoder options are available: select Encoder1.

In the Encoder Type: select MP3 Encoder.

In the Encoder Settings: select a maximum of 24 kbps or 32 kbps.


Note: some of the friends who have tried shoutcast server prefer AAC + Encoder. You can easily change the Encoder Type to the AAC + encoder, then select the Encoder Settings to around 24 kbps - 32 kbps. AAC + option is felt to be more than trible MP3 encoder.


The higher the kbps rate you choose, the better the audio quality but there is a risk that not all Internet users can listen to your radio. Only listeners with a good internet connection (eg 3G) which freely hear your radio.


According to the recommendations Shoutcast.com, our brave new pairs of encoder at 64 kbps bitrate if the broadcaster and also the internet connection internet connection listener reach 128 kbps. In fact, in Indonesia there in 3G connection though, or 3.5 G, which actually rarely can reach 128kbps. Indosat M2 is already 3.5 G for example, average only can we enjoy the connections on the number at 50 kbps only.

So, be careful to set this bitrate.
