Radio on the Internet for schools (continued)
I've found two more possibilities to broadcast for free. There are also servers where you can broadcast from for a small fee. Listen2myradio and Live365 offer both possibilites (free and paid).
This is my blog to share experiences and information with fellow English teachers. You can send any comments to jgarciateacher@hotmail.com. If you are looking for older posts, check the labels on the right hand side of the blog.

Radio on the Internet for schools (continued)
I've trying Radionomy and the system seem to work quite well, but it means a lot of work. Another drawback is that they insert commercials in your radio, but that seems a low price to pay for the service. With Winamp and Shoutcast you have more control over your own radio, and I think you can also play "live" music or speech, but I'm still having trouble with the IP address. Again, if anyone has experience on that, comments will be welcome.

Radio on the Internet
I've been thinking about setting up a radio at my school for my students. The most obvious possibility is using ShoutCast. Here is a link (in Spanish) that explains how to do it. Another possibility is using Radionomy. If anyone has tried both possibilities, I'd appreciate some feedback on the advantages and disadvantages of both of them.
