Using a 2008 plugin on Windows 10 or 11 comes with quirks. Here’s how to solve them:

The SHOUTcast DSP Plugin is a bridge between Winamp and a SHOUTcast server (DNAS). It captures the audio output from Winamp—whether it’s a playlist of MP3s, live microphone input, or a line-in from a mixer—encodes it into MP3 or AAC, and sends it to a streaming server. Listeners then tune in via a URL.

: Supports broadcasting in both MP3 (widely compatible) and AAC+ (better quality at lower bitrates).
