Hey kiddies,
In case you were wondering what DNAS stands for here it is, strait from Nullsofts page:
- The SHOUTcast Radio Distributed Network Audio Software (DNAS) is a software application that runs on your server attached to the Internet or an IP network and is responsible for receiving audio from a broadcaster such as your Win amp media player running the SHOUTcast Radio DSP plug-in. The SHOUTcast DNAS will then broadcast the source stream to listeners of your broadcast. More information is in the server section of the documentation that comes with the installer package. You will need to provide an Internet accessible host to run the software and an audio stream for this to work.
- Nullsoft SHOUTcast DNS Software is an application that runs as an application on supported operating system such as Windows 95, 98, NT, FreeBSD, etc. The SHOUTcast DNS Software will accept connections via SHOUTcast Radio DSP Plug-in in order to have a SOURCE Stream to broadcast. Once a stream has begun, the SHOUTcast DNS Software will only accept connections from other copies of Winamp in order to broadcast that source stream to each listener. In effect, having a micro-broadcast system to allow people to be able to broadcast any content in any of the formats that Wianmp supports. Through the use of specialized SHOUTcast Radio broadcasting plug-ins, audio from a microphone as well as any device attached to the Line-In port on the broadcasters soundcard can be streamed via SHOUTcast Radio Server. The SHOUTcast DNS Software is the key to connecting many poeple to one another via Winamp.
So there it is in a nut shell, now go buy one of our DNAS servers!!!
