I did not have this much trouble with Windows Media Encoder.

Is there any How-To's on setting up SAM for ShoutCast and for your own WebHost?
Even the admin panel link in my ShoutCast ask for a username and password which I do not know because the one I thought it was does not work. I would like some clear guidance on the steps it takes just to hear music online as a test. Not really sure if this software is for me. Would love to give it a try but............

Your password for SHOUTcast is set up in the SHOUTcast config file. Where specifically are you running into issues?

I can not get any music to play on my shoutcast page.
The listen link is a download for a listen.pls file.
when I go to stream url link it returns a 404 error.

Are you encoding music from your SAM to the SHOUTcast server?

Can you provide the link to your SHOUTcast page?

I would like to have a web based player instead of the pc/mac

According to your SHOUTcast page, you're presently not encoding/sending anything to it from your SAM Broadcaster.

In your SAM Broadcaster, you need to register your station on SpacialNet. (Config > Member Details > Sign up for FREE now)

Once registered, from the SpacialNet.com page, click on MY STATIONS and add your station. Once registered, you will have been given a StationID #, as well as a station SHORT NAME. Take this info back to your SAM Broadcaster, and enter it in the Station Details tab, in the Config. Next set up a statistic relay in SAM.

You'll then be able to go BACK to the SpacialNet.com page, under MY STATIONS and find a URL like that will open up a web based player for your station.
