Broadcasting over the internet is easy with Airtime smart blocks

Looking for some new online radio equipment? Wondering how to join an internet station directory? Or even why your station’s stream is skipping or buffering?

Internet radio is a field full of things to learn about. Even if you are a seasoned professional, things are always changing, from hardware like Reciva to software like IceCast. Meanwhile, newbies need guidance on internet radio basics.

The answer to all of these questions can be found in one place: internet radio community forums.

What are internet radio community forums?

These are online groups that can be found on dedicated websites as well as in social platforms such as Facebook and Quora. They are peer groups of fellow radio internet enthusiasts dedicated to sharing knowledge and experiences.

What internet radio community forums are not are places to promote your show or sell a product. They are not places to ask for financial support. They are also not places to be negative or trollish. Because people are offering their knowledge and help for free, it is important to not only be respectful as a member but also to contribute in some way yourself. Think about what you can give, not just what you can get.
