1: Get a new encoder. First select "encoder" from the pull down menu under "window". There are two ways to add a new encoder, either that plus button that's in the encoder window (short cut), or go to the "file" menu and go to "new". Both ways will get you to the next step.

Step two: Select the type of encoding, for this example we'll say mp3.

Step 3: Setup the mp3 encoder: Select the bit rate, sample rate and channels specific to your SHOUTcast hosting package.

Step 4: Configure the encoder: Select SHOUTcast at the top, then change the station name to what you want it to be. Next, type in your Sever Host Name, Port Number,  and (source) password. (You can find your Server Host Name and Port Number under "Quick Links" in the Centova Cast Control Panel)

Step 5: Click "OK" then Press the  "Play Button"

If your Encoder starts counting up from zero then you are connected to SHOUTcast.
