Im trying to bring streaming radio onto my website so users can listen to portuguese news and music, anyone know how i can go about this? I know there are places like delicast.com that stream world radio. But how can i do it, is it a service you need to pay for?

You need to find the radio station that you want to stream and go to their website and see if they have any webservices you can use. Otherwise you can just find out what the URL is of their web radio (normally a popup) and try pasting that on your site, should work. Of course they will technically be on another site but it doesnt really matter.

Or go download shoutcast and do it yourself

This would be the player, and the playlist is mp3.m3u

http://www.domain.com/music/song1.mp3
http://www.domain.com/music/song2.mp3
http://www.domain.com/music/song3.mp3
http://www.domain.com/music/song4.mp3

And this is what the m3u file must look like just insert the links to the music into a text file.

And the other solotion "using a radio station" wil also work

good luck
