Dear Future DJ,
I both DJ and run and maintain an Internet Radio Station for use in SecondLife when I DJ and am contracted to play music. Creating your own Radio Station is exciting and fraught with many opportunities to trip & learn
The General Steps are as follows [ BTW – the details and how’s & whys would fill 10 pages ] :
1) Create a fantastic Music Library on your PC. Generally, the music can be “Ripped” CDs or purchased music or public domain music [Creative Commons Artists release licenses ] in the MP3, FLAC & WMA formats at the desired kbps you plan on broadcasting at or better. The music in my library is all available at 128 kbps to 320 kbps to lossless depending on the music. The formats your music streaming DJ software supports will determine your music format storage standard.
2) Get a quality Radio Station Software package. I use a purchased copy SAM Broadcaster Pro 2015.1 installed using MySQL as the database backend because I have over 100,000 individual annotated songs. There are many other programs available some of which are free. Below are many links to free DJing Software that may suit your needs and budget.
3) Obtain a Stream Relay service from a reliable and affordable provider. You can find services in SecondLife for up to 250 listeners at an affordable cost per week or month. You will get an IP address&port or a Domain-name& port assigned to you. Note: Be sure the service allows for use at a continuous streaming relay service if you plan on 24/7 availability. I only broadcast during a scheduled period of time.
4) Get a stand-alone PC with plenty of disk space for your Music Library. Most Radio Station software works best when the music and database engine are on the same PC. A 4-core PC with 2 GB of memory is a great starter system. Graphics are not important. A quality sound card allows you to do the following 1) Listen locally to the immediate stream out feed; 2) Add your wonderful DJ Voice to the mix; 3) Record your voice over lead-in’s and commercials. [ Optional: Get a separate PC to listen to / monitor your stream from the Relay Service which is usually delayed/offset from 10 – 45 seconds depending on Internet traffic This way you can check the quality of the finished stream that the listener will be hearing.]
5) Put it all together. In my case for non-attended music streaming…
a) SAM running using my scripted and programmed Clockwheel rotation Music selection criteria —> b) Selecting MP3, FLAC & WMA encoded music from my 3 tb hard drive Music Library c) Streaming it out with the auto DJ mode with auto recovery using the lame (MP3) Encoder and Streamer —> d) To my ShoutCast DNAS Relay Service accounts hosted with [Any good ShoutCast or IceCast Relay service provider] —> e) Relayed to my Internet listeners via my website http://RadioDivinity.yolasite.com and my in-world parcels stream IP+port addresses –> f) set up as the Land Audio URL addresses on the parcels I own and in the clubs I play and DJ at.
Feel free to take a listen of Radio Divinity – http://RadioDivinity.yolasite.com
Those are the basics.
Additional Needs:
You may get your own Domain Name from many different Internet Registrar’s. The trick is to get that domain name used at the reference URL for your Station Relay Service. Make sure that your Registrar has the ability to allow you to forward all requests to your domain name on the assigned port to the relay service you choose to use. Keeping these services separate is a wise thing because Relay Service Provider come and go. This way you can change relay service providers easily and keep your “brand” always.
Cautions:
When looking for Radio Station software know that looking for “Free Radio Station Software” will net you a ton of PC only solutions with no ability to encode and stream to a relay service. I’ll update this post a bit later with a current list of Radio Station w/DJ software you might consider using.

STAYING LEGAL
To be absolutely legal operating as an Internet DJ/Radio Station you need to:
1) Own a legal copy of all the music you plan to broadcast. This can be from a purchased CD collection that you have ripped, or from purchased copies from the various Digital Media outlets such as iTunes and Amazon and the like. How to remove deckadance.
2) I offer this opinion piece for the Internet Broadcasters to allow you to decide what Performing Rights Organization [PRO] you should contract with for your kind of use:
Since I maintain an Internet Radio Presence, I pay an annual fee to BMI/ASCAP which covers my exposure.
Technically, per existing case law in the US, the Venue Owner [e.g. bar or restaurant] is required to have the needed performance PRO agreement current if they provide music performances for their customers. This includes the occasion where they hire DJs.
There is no current “tested” case law at this time that defines this responsibility absolutely in the case of a SecondLife Virtual Venue Owner or DJ. Nor does Second Life’s Linden Lab maintain this license that I know of. If Linden Lab did maintain this license it would pretty much indemnify all DJ’s in SL at all Venues they DJ at.
The closest license definition seems to be a low volume internet web site.
Yours,
KML
