DJ's

Wanted to share something new. The majority of online DJ's in IMVU and Second Life are streaming audio-only content. Nothing wrong with that at all. It's easier, takes less time to set up and plan sets, and is good for majority of what we do. I do however have to tell you about a DJ that I was unaware of that I kind of stumbled on and saw in IMVU by the name of DJ Spotter (Shawn Potter) who runs High Energy Beats (HEB). He is a video-streaming DJ, and I was invited to go to his HEB Stratus Club room in IMVU for his 2 hour set. ....and I have to say I was completely blown-away by what he did. DJ Spotter is a real life professional and has been video streaming for years. It was incredible! That got my taste-buds wet for wanting to do i…

Thought I would share something. Most of us online broadcast DJ's on IMVU or Second Life use one of the two radio station platforms, Caster.fm or Zeno.fm. Although there are other platforms (and some DJ's even host their "own" streaming server & service), the majority of DJ's are looking for an easy & quick way to get a station up and running.

I started out using Caster, and I still have it as my back-up. Caster.fm is probably the most popular and widely used platform used by DJ's in IMVU and Second Life, and for good reason. It is free and it is easy and quick. It is relatively easy to set up. It only requires that you set up your stream (from your DJ software) to the standard 128k MP3 bit-rate and enter some information in your DJ software for the connection.

You can customize your own Caster radio…
