NAMING YOUR EVENT on the live stream - Close winamp and then get an MP3 that you may on your PC, Next rename it to whatever you like your LIVE event to be called on masjid live - and then play it in winamp but without connecting to the server. After this close Winamp and when your programme is ready to be streamed just open Winamp and click connect to stream your event - If you dont do this then the default mp3 winamp played when it was installed winamp, will be the name of the event, which you DONT want!

 

Alternatively, you can download this file and play it whilst you're streaming.
