Thank you so much, that's a big help 

here is my pi linking system. the TX is a rpi3b with a usb wifi dongle and a usb sound card plugged in. the software used to connect to shoutcast is darkice. i added some VU meters in so its easy to set the input volume. the RX is a pi zero with a audio dac hat. thats running pi core player. just plug in and everything starts working (if connected to wifi).

Or8 radionortheast, nice to see you mate! Hope you are doing great!
Yeah i can't sign in to post.. I'm getting better but was absolutely gutted because I've been over there for years probably before the nrg bloke took it over..
I know that i haven't got any radio, electronics skills and that but loved reading about it and looking at the schematics and i was soaking up some information..
And i miss being able to interact with people on there, especially you coz you're not far from me and have chatted about radio, which is what it's all about innit.
When i got the banned message i was gutted.. I didn't deserve a ban.. He could have just told me to mind me own business really but no, the man has a god complex and he is mightyer than anyone..
Funny really because when i told him about the site information and updates section on his site and told him that maybe he could have used that to let everyone know what had happened, he didn't like it. And 6 hours later he did exactly what i had said that he should have done!
I emailed him during my meltdown 'in bits and is was the end of the world and all that' and told him exactly what i thought of him and he obviously didn't like that.. If only i could have kept it together eh it might have been a different story!

maybe they’ll get the trance music back on, i’m glad when it resets all messages are removed, I wrote a message afew weeks ago noticed it was gone.

that radionecks profile has a lot of old pirate radio shows!! few of my mates have shows on there from back in the day
