    I'm a newbie when it comes to online streaming and airtime. I've some experience w/ IceCast and LiquidSoap. I'm trying to setup an Internet radio station using Airtime. I will be hosting airtime in the cloud on a Linux VPS (@ DigitalOcean), let's say this is Location A. This will be the main server that listeners will connect to and it will stream local music files. For couple hours throughout the day, I want to stream from location B. Location B is 500 miles away it is not on the same network as Location A. So do I need a second installation of Airtime at Location B? or do I need another piece of software?

    Hi Fateh,
    it depends on what you want to do at location B.
    You could use Airtime at location B too,
    but an icecast-client like butt, edcast, mixxx, or similar would also do the job.
    You can use Master- or Show-Source for this or just schedule a Webstream instead.
    cheers

    Hey hoerich,

    Thanks for the response. At location B, all I want to do is generate a stream (from line-in) and send it to the main Airtime server at location A.

    Out of all the softwares that you mentioned above, which one works the best w/ alsa/line-in.

    depends on your operating system...
    there are Mixxx and BUTT for Windows, MAC & Linux
    edcast, riocast, m3w,... for Windows only
    I prefer BUTT overall

    For your situation I would use the Airtime's Showsource function.
