JimmyStream is an easy-to-use broadcasting utility that can help you stream music over the Internet. It comes equipped with a built-in server and is very flexible, as it can be used for multiple purposes.

JimmyStream is bundled with a server that be started or stopped at any time, and can be used with other source clients. However, if you prefer this app’s interface and feature array, it can function independently.

Alternatively, you can simply use JimmyStream as a client and send the stream to any Icecast server.

If you have prepared the MP3 audio files you wish to broadcast, you can add them to the playing queue using drag and drop actions. JimmyStream displays each song’s duration and length, as well as artist and album information extracted from the ID3 tags.

There is not much to be said about the app’s appearance, as its layout is very minimalistic, but it integrates well with the standard OS X interface and does not look out of place.

Depending on your bandwidth, you may find yourself having to compress your MP3 files before they are broadcasted, as a very high bitrate is normally not necessary, and can make it difficult for others to listen to your radio station. JimmyStream can perform this task in real-time, while the audio is being streamed.

You can also monitor the broadcast to ensure its quality is acceptable, and there are no unforeseen issues.

JimmyStream is a straightforward broadcasting tool that is flexible enough to function as a server, source client or both. It is easy-to-use and can help you start your own radio station in no time.
