Butt, which stands for Broadcast Using This Tool, is a straightforward piece of streaming software which is able to run on Windows, Mac and Linux. It can be downloaded free of charge from this website, where installation instructions are also available. Unlike Edcast, it does not require the separate installation of the LAME MP3 encoder as this is included in the package.

Setting up your stream using Butt

On opening the Butt software, you will be presented with a screen that looks like this:

Click on the "settings" button to get started, and it will load the Settings window adjacent to the main Butt program window:

Then, to add your streaming details, click on the "ADD" button under "Server".

The settings you need to add are as follows:

• Server type: IceCast
• Name: the name of your station - this is simply for internal use
• Address: live.canstream.co.uk OR, for new clients, radio.canstream.co.uk
• Port: supplied to you by email
• Password: supplied to you by email
• Mountpoint: supplied to you by email

Click ADD, then "Save Settings." Then, click the play button on the main Butt window, underneath the LCD-style display. It should then connect, and begin streaming the output from your Line In socket on your encoding machine. The meter below the display shows your level - this should peak at the top of the green lights, and not go into the yellow or red, or distortion will occur on your streamed output.
