Ever wanted your own internet radio station? It may be easier than you think to make your dream a reality.

All you need to broadcast online is a DJ software and an online stream.

On this site we offer a step-by-step guide on how to set up your station and also how to broadcast effectively.

Before setting up our internet radio station my friend and I had to try many different programs until we found one that was both easy to use and wasn't restricted on features. We eventually found a winning formula. To start your own internet radio station you need:

• A Windows/Mac operating system.
• Virtual DJ Pro/Broadcaster software.
• A free ''myradiostream'' account.
• An internal/external microphone.
• A large music collection.

Part 1: Setting Up The Internet Stream

1. Make a free ''myradiostream'' account. (myradiostream.com takes long to do load on all pages so be patient).
2. Click ''Register Here" at the top of the home page.
3. Read and accept the ''Terms Of Service''.
4. In the ''Signup'' section create a ''Username'', ''Pasword'' and enter your Email address.
5. On the "My Account" section click "Stream Settings".
6. A "Server Settings" section will now open containing the following data: "Server IP/Host", "Server Port", "Stream Password" and "Stream Bitrate". Take note of this data as you will need it in Part 2. (Your "Stream Password" will be the same as your "myradiostream" account password.

Now you have completed Part 1! Go to Part 2, ''Setting Up Virtual DJ'' where we will show you how to set up your Virtual DJ software.
