New! - Centova Cast v2.1 - AJAX ShoutCast/IceCast control panel now available
The Centova Cast v2.1 is now available! See below for a list of updates in this new version.
Centova Cast is a professional streaming radio server control panel and hosting management solution, providing complete control over the provisioning and management of your streaming servers.
Automatic playlist generation for WinAmp, Windows Media Player, QuickTime, and RealPlayer
Flexible XML and PHP APIs for integration with third-party billing and provisioning systems.
Cross-browser compatibility.
Support for both ShoutCast and IceCast streaming servers.
