Nicecast can work with most audio applications on Mac OS X including iTunes. The Plug-In architecture supports sophisticated functionality including live voice-over. Because Nicecast supports Icecast protocols for webcasting, it is compatible with Darwin/QuickTime Streaming Server and also with SHOUTcast servers.

The steps to configure Nicecast to webcast through DSS/QTSS are:

1.         - launch Nicecast.
2.         - display the Nicecast server configuration window by selecting Nicecast Server from the Window menu.

The server window lets you define:

1.        - name for your reference.
2.        - on the server type field select Shoutcast. (Nicecast also support Icecast1 and 2.)
3.        - the IP address or DNS name of the server.
4.        - this is the address the you received in the setup email. Also you have this in your account page.
5.        - the port number number that you need to put in corresponding field can also be found on the account page.
6.        - the broadcast password.
