  I am wondering if there is any way to stream a shoutcast stream on a wordpress.com site? I searched the forums and found a few old topics on this where it had been mentioned its not possible. I am wondering if this still is the case?

  Thanks,

  Fintan

  No, it’s possible, the way shown here:

  If you can’t figure it out, link to a stream you wish to insert and I’ll work it out for you.

  I’m fairly new to this so any help would be appreciated. Thanks !

  I”m having a read of the page you sent on now :)

  Sorry, unlike others on Shoutcast, that station doesn’t provide an embed code. As far as I can tell, you can only use stations that say type mp3, not type AAC+.

  Well its actually my station. So I’ll probably have to look into making an embed code. Also yes I figured the AAC might be a problem. I might create a standard MP3 stream.
