About

I am not claiming I made the program or wrote the scripts. I got this cool radio blog from its official website, Radioclub.com. This is just a tutorial to help people understand the installation and working of radio blog.

Note: Version 1.4 is not the latest version of radio blog..however its my favorite. The latest version of radio blog is version 2.0 and you can get it from the official website.

Radio Blog version: 1.4

» Download version 1.4 of radio blog here.
» Unzip it in a folder. Open the radio.blog folder
» Open config.ini with notepad, edit the colors there if you want and the opacity, make it 0 if you want it to be transparent.
» Log on to your FTP server and make a new directory called radio or something like that.
» Upload all the contents of the folder radio.blog there. Do not upload the creat.sound folder or any files in it.
» Now on your computer, find the music files that you want to put on the radio blog Only Mp3 music files can be played on the radio blog.
» Copy them and paste inside the create.sound folder.
» Click convert_all.dat. A command window will open.
» Now just wait until all those mp3 files are converted into flash.
» You may do it one by one also, by copying one mp3 at a time and clicking convert_all.dat.
» When you have the flash files, upload them to the folder radio or whatever you named it.
» Rename those files in your ftp program, usually its right click >rename.
» You should rename them like

Song title -- Artist/Album

» Now go to http://yoursite.com/radio and check if everything works fine.
» Thatsall your radio blog is ready.
» If you want to include it with your layout, you can do it by using iframe codes.

<iframe src="http://yoursite.com/radio/index.php" name="radio" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" width="220" height="300"allowtransparency="true" style="filter:chroma (color=#FFFFFF)"></iframe>
» Or you may just put the link to your radio blog on your site.
» When you use links, you have another option, you can make a song autoplay when someone clicks the link, to do that use the code below.

<a href="http://yoursite.com/radio/?autoplay=6 "target="_blank">Click to listen to my radio blog!</a>
autoplay=6 where 6 is serial number of the song in your radio blog. The song will autoplay when someone click that link.
» This is kind of a hack, if you want your playlist to be organized alphabetically, download this file, unzip it and upload the playlist.php to your radioblog direcoty overwriting the original playlist.php. The songs will now be organized in alphabetical order.
