Hello my name is Luis Estrada and I am a software developer. In this video I'll show you how to create your own internet radio station probably the easiest way to include audio broadcasts on your website is to use a free hosting service for your radio shows. This service will provide you with a free audio player that you can embed on your website and audio streaming technology to play back the files. Audio streaming means that your users can start listening to your audio files instantly and without having to download them to their computers. Another advantage of using the internet to distribute audio is the ability to provide on demand services unlike traditional radio stations where you can only listen to whatever shows is playing at the particular time, on demand services allow users to listen to their favorite radio shows at any time. To create your own internet radio station you need to sign up for an account on a free audio hosting service like the one found at Gcast.com then you will be able to upload your radio shows as mp3 files to your account. You could also record audio using your cell phone and dialing a free number. This is a great feature if you need to record on the road. Gcast will then provide you with a customizable audio player. You can select the color and size that works best for your website's template then you can include a player on your website with just a few lines of code. Another great feature about the service is the possibility of distributing your radio shows as podcasts. Your listeners would be able to subscribe to your radio station and have your radio shows delivered directly to their computers, ipods, or portable audio players using a computer program like itunes. I am Luis Estrada and I have just showed you how to make money with your websites.
