After a successful June launch of the new SHOUTcast 2.0 platform, the SHOUTcast team has continued to make tweaks and upgrades based on the feedback received from Listeners and Broadcasters. As we have told you before, we value user feedback and use it to improve and innovate the SHOUTcast platform and to that end, we have released an update to SHOUTcast 2.0
Please keep your feedback coming and see our release notes below that detail the new features.

Please keep your feedback coming and see our release notes below that detail the new features.
What's new?
For Listeners:
- Improved Search: Based on your feedback, we changed the order of search results to give preference to "Station Names" over "What's Playing" across the SHOUTcast station network. Now users will get more relevant results when searching for their favorite station.
- Updated Search Results Filters: To further help users find the station they are searching for, a 'Station Name' filter (located in the left rail) refines the search results.
- Station Info Balloons: We've added more information to the station listings in the directory. If you hover over each station's name, a balloon pops up with additional information like the station's website & keywords as listed by the broadcaster.
- Broadcaster Registration. The final step in the SHOUTcast 2.0 platform rollout! Broadcasters can now begin to upgrade their stations to the new platform. Instead of entering their station details in a config file, broadcasters can now add their stations to the SHOUTcast directory using a simple easy to use web form. Plus, the Broadcaster Profile lets Broadcasters manage and configure their stations in real time. Check it out now! You will need to log into SHOUTcast using your existing account with your Google, Facebook, Yahoo or AOL account.
Cheers
The SHOUTcast Team.
