Going mobile with #ds106radio

Wanna tune in via mobile to ?

1. Grab a streaming app for your mobile – here are some free ones that support custom station entries and multitasking ( will background so you can listen while browsing, using other apps, etc )

Apple devices:

Android devices:

2. Punch in this address: http://208.82.115.69:8010/stream.m3u

  • Note: This address will always keep you with as people pick up and cut off the autoDJ rotations.  If you point your player at the /autoDJ mount point at the IceCast server then you won’t get the live feed when someone grabs a mobile mic … and you wouldn’t want to miss those live nuggets.

3. Watch your mobile bandwidth odometer – especially if you are with Canadian mobile carriers – streams at 128kbps so you can chew up some of your monthly ration in short order – this bandwidth to filesize calculator outlines your bandwidth for 1 hour of – this applies for mobile broadcasting as well as listening.

Papaya Broadcaster Settings

As D’Arcy Norman noted, mobile broadcasting audio is adding an quality to online social presence that lots of folks are having a blast exploring and experimenting with in :

… it’s a happening.

Lots of interesting things are growing out of this sonic experiment .. like the twitterbot notification from @galagonwagon. If you put your TwitterID in the Stream Name (pictured above) the twitterbot will send you a notification on your mobile to let you know that you are live.  No guessing if you are on the air – twitterbot tells you.

A bunch of folks have been playing with Papaya Broadcaster broadcasting to – it works very well as a mobile, roving mic.  It isn’t free ($2.99), but I have yet to find a mobile application that does the same thing. If you have found one – let me know by leaving a comment with a link below.  If you want to give Papaya a run with iTouch or iPhone drop me a DM @grantpotter – I’ll help you get your voice on the air.
