Question

I've been reading and found that i need a streaming software.

I'm currently running Ubuntu 10.10.

Any software you know?

Icecast is a well-known streaming media server that can do what you need. You're not too specific if you want to make a single radio station stream or just be able to have a network media player, in that case check out Ampache.

Have a look at "Setting Up Your Own Station: A Free Radio Under Linux HowTo" on http://www.osguides.net/multimedia/78-setting-up-your-own-station-a-free-radio-under-linux-howto.html

Thanks Jorge. My english is not very good. I'm from Argentina. I'm trying to set a simple radio station to broadcast from time to time. Does Icecast do it?
