I didn't really read much about it. But can someone please tell me if I upload this or what? Like, to access the radio I visit what..? I was hoping like I had to upload the contents to my domain and access it by navigating through my domain and stuff..
Anyone knows how this thing works and is managed?
I want an internet radio for my forum, and this is an amazing tool.

To add this on a linux server you would need SSH access because you have to run a command to install it. Quote from readme for server:
Installation:
Unix versions: Use gunzip and tar to decompress and extract the necessary
binaries for your particular operating system. When complete, you should
have three files: the server binary, server config file, and this readme.
Make certain the server is chmod u+x, and that the config file is readable
by the user you want to run the server as. The server does *not* need to
be run as root, unless you want to use port numbers below 1024 to serve
SHOUTcast audio streams.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Starting ShoutCAST:
UNIX:
Under Unix, cd to the directory where you unpacked the SHOUTcast server, and type ./sc_serv to start the server. You can start the server in the background by entering ./sc_serv &. If you want to stop the server, send a TERM or INT signal by issuing a ctrl-C if the server is in the foreground, or a kill -TERM if the server is running in the background.
Signals support is included on UNIX. Issuing a SIGHUP (kill -HUP) will force the DNAS to close and re-open the logfiles (useful for logfile rotation.) Also, SIGWINCH (kill -WINCH) will reload the following config file items
(and, specifically, NOT items which aren't listed here) and start again:
"Password"
"LogFile"
"RelayServer"
"RelayPort"
"PublicServer"
"RealTime"
"ScreenLog"
"IntroFile"
"AutoDumpUsers"
"DestIP"
"SrcIP"
"AutoDumpSourceTime"
"BackupFile"
"Yport"
"BanFile"
"RipFile"
"AdminPassword"
"AllowRelay"
"AllowPublicRelay"
"ListenerTimer"
"WebLog"
"TchLog"
"Sleep"
"Unique"
"W3CLog"
"W3CEnable"
"CleanXML"
"RIPOnly"
If you intend on broadcasting to more than 64 listeners, you may also want to look into unlimiting the descriptors allocated to your shell. The commands limit, ulimit, and unlimit may be of some assistance to you.
lol so it's nothing like Joomla, Drupal or MyBB's "kind of installation"?
Nope it is a service run in linux and an executable in windows.
There is another software like ShoutCAST which is called Icecast but that is a service too :p

So huh.. is there any easy way or other service?
Well you could get a VPS or dedicated server and do it there :p
You could get Shoutcast hosting or you could just run it on your localhost.
Here's a list of some of the shoutcast hosting providers most of them are paid though
http://www.radiotoolbox.com/hosts/ . Google is also handy for finding these
unless you buy from companies. theres no easier way.
It's pretty easy if you deside to read the installation guide.
