How to create an Internet radio station?

What is needed to set up an Internet radio station?

1. CD player
2. Ripping software (copy audio tracks from CD to computer hard drive)
3. Hybrid recording and editing software
4. Microphone
5. Audio mixer
6. External audio regulator (equalizer, compressor, etc.)
7. Digital Audio Card
8. Dedicated computer with encoder software installed
9. Streaming Media Server

The process of transferring audio to the Internet is very simple:

The audio enters the network broadcasting company's encoding computer through the sound card.
The encoder system converts the audio from the sound card into a streaming format. The encoder samples the incoming audio and compresses the information for transmission over the Internet.
Send compressed audio to a server with a high-bandwidth connection to the Internet.
The server sends the audio data stream to the player software or plug-in on the listener's computer via the Internet. Then the plug-in converts the audio data stream from the server into a sound that the listener can hear.
There are two ways to transmit audio over the Internet: download or streaming. In the download mode, the audio file will be stored on the user's computer. A compression format similar to MP3 is the most popular form of audio download, but you can also transmit any type of audio file through a website or FTP site. Streaming audio can only be played and cannot be stored. This is a form of continuous broadcasting that requires the help of three software packages: encoder, server and player. The encoder converts the audio content into a streaming format, the server makes it available for use on the Internet, and finally the player restores the audio content. For live broadcasts, the encoder and stream generator work together in real time. The audio input is transmitted to the sound card of the computer running the encoder software at the broadcast location, and then the stream is uploaded to the streaming server. Since this work takes up a lot of computing resources, the streaming server must be a dedicated server.
