How to Create My Own Online Radio Station

Internet radio is a relatively new form of radio broadcasting that operates online on a global scale. You can start a basic online radio show without a lot of experience; therefore, broadcasting has become a much more accessible goal. Many young and talented DJs who seek to have their talent heard by a larger audience rely on this medium to get started.

Instructions

      Add music to the library of your software. To do this, select "Add Music," browse for your music folder and select the songs you wish to add.
