Since AzuraCast runs on Icecast for its broadcasting layer, the two work together smoothly once you understand which settings belong where.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This guide walks through connecting BUTT to an <a href=\"https:\/\/azuracast.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">AzuraCast radio hosting<\/a> station step by step, using a real example configuration so you can see exactly how the pieces line up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Is BUTT?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">BUTT, short for Broadcast Using This Tool, is a desktop application available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. It captures audio from an input source on your computer, a microphone, a line input, or an audio interface, and streams that audio to a server like Icecast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s worth being clear about what BUTT is not. It is not a streaming server itself. It doesn&#8217;t host your station or manage playlists. It&#8217;s the bridge between your live audio source and the server that actually broadcasts it to listeners. AzuraCast still handles playlists, AutoDJ, and public delivery. BUTT simply hands over live audio when you want to take over from automated programming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The basic signal path looks like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Microphone or mixer or audio source, into BUTT, into Icecast, into AzuraCast, out to listeners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Before You Start<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Make sure your AzuraCast station is already configured and running before attempting to connect <a href=\"https:\/\/danielnoethen.de\/butt\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">BUTT streaming software<\/a>. For this guide, we&#8217;ll use an example station with the following setup:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Station name: Binila Radio<br>Broadcasting service: Icecast, running<br>AutoDJ service: Liquidsoap, running<br>Streamers\/DJs: Enabled<br>Public stream: a URL ending in \/listen\/binila_radio\/radio.mp3<br>Public stream format: MP3 at 192 kbps<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You&#8217;ll also need the specific credentials AzuraCast generates for your live DJ or streamer connection. These are different from your admin login and different from the public listening URL, a distinction that trips up a lot of people the first time they set this up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A quick but important note before going further: never publish your actual AzuraCast password, DJ password, or source port publicly, whether in a blog post, a screenshot, or a tutorial video. Use placeholders like YOUR_PASSWORD when documenting your own setup for others to see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 1: Locate Your Icecast Connection Details in AzuraCast<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Log in to your AzuraCast dashboard and open your station. Look for the section related to Broadcasting, or sometimes labeled Streamers &amp; DJs, depending on your AzuraCast version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What you&#8217;re looking for here is the Icecast connection information tied to your DJ or streamer account, not the public player link. You&#8217;ll generally need four or five pieces of information:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Server or host address<br>Port number<br>Username<br>Password<br>Mount point<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the step where most confusion happens. The public stream URL, something like https:\/\/azura12.instainternet.com\/listen\/binila_radio\/radio.mp3, is meant for listeners. It is not the address you plug into BUTT&#8217;s server settings. The source connection AzuraCast provides for DJs uses a separate port and set of credentials entirely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"503\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ucartz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/azuracast-main-dashboard-1024x503.webp\" alt=\"azuracast main dashboard\" class=\"wp-image-3402\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ucartz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/azuracast-main-dashboard-1024x503.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.ucartz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/azuracast-main-dashboard-300x147.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.ucartz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/azuracast-main-dashboard-768x377.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.ucartz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/azuracast-main-dashboard-1536x755.webp 1536w, https:\/\/www.ucartz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/azuracast-main-dashboard.webp 1893w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2: Install BUTT<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Download and install the current version of BUTT for whichever operating system you&#8217;re using. It&#8217;s available for Windows, macOS, and Linux, including an AppImage build for Linux users who prefer not to compile from source.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I&#8217;d recommend checking BUTT&#8217;s official release page directly for the current version number rather than relying on a specific version listed in any guide, since software updates regularly and a guide can go stale quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once installed, open the application. You should see BUTT&#8217;s main window with basic controls for connecting to a server and starting your broadcast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3: Open BUTT&#8217;s Server Settings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Inside BUTT, navigate to Settings, then Server, and select Add to create a new server profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When setting up an Icecast connection, BUTT will ask for the server address, port, and your Icecast credentials, including the mount point. Set the Server Type to Icecast before entering anything else, since Shoutcast and Icecast configurations differ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"649\" height=\"639\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ucartz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/BUTT-software-settings.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3282\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ucartz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/BUTT-software-settings.webp 649w, https:\/\/www.ucartz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/BUTT-software-settings-300x295.webp 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 649px) 100vw, 649px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Entering the AzuraCast Server Details<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your configuration inside BUTT should look roughly like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Server Type: Icecast<br>Server Address: your AzuraCast server hostname, for example azura12.instainternet.com<br>Port: the Icecast source port provided by AzuraCast, not the public listening port<br>Username: your AzuraCast DJ or streamer username<br>Password: your AzuraCast DJ or streamer password<br>Mountpoint: the mount point AzuraCast assigns for your live source<br>SSL\/TLS: only enable this if your Icecast source connection specifically requires it<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"481\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ucartz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/port-no-azura-cast-1024x481.webp\" alt=\"port no azura cast\" class=\"wp-image-3404\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ucartz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/port-no-azura-cast-1024x481.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.ucartz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/port-no-azura-cast-300x141.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.ucartz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/port-no-azura-cast-768x361.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.ucartz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/port-no-azura-cast-1536x722.webp 1536w, https:\/\/www.ucartz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/port-no-azura-cast.webp 1918w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Note on the Port Number<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is worth repeating because it&#8217;s such a common mistake. The public listening URL uses HTTPS, which typically implies port 443 in a browser context. That does not mean BUTT should connect using port 443.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Icecast source connection, the one BUTT actually uses to send audio, often runs on a completely different port than the one listeners use to tune in. Always use the exact port number AzuraCast gives you in your DJ or streamer credentials rather than assuming it matches the public stream&#8217;s URL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 4: Set the Mount Point Correctly<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The mount point tells Icecast which specific stream you&#8217;re publishing to. In our example, the public stream uses \/radio.mp3, so if AzuraCast&#8217;s source connection also uses \/radio.mp3 as the mount point, that&#8217;s what you enter in BUTT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, always double check this against the actual credentials AzuraCast provides for your station, since it can differ from what appears in the public URL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the most frequent errors here is pasting the entire public listening URL into the mount point field. Don&#8217;t do this. The mount point is a short path, something like \/radio.mp3, not a full web address with the domain attached.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"586\" height=\"811\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ucartz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/butt-settings.webp\" alt=\"butt server settings\" class=\"wp-image-3405\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ucartz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/butt-settings.webp 586w, https:\/\/www.ucartz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/butt-settings-217x300.webp 217w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 586px) 100vw, 586px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 5: Configure Audio Settings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Next, set up BUTT&#8217;s audio encoding to match what your AzuraCast station expects. In this example, the station is configured for MP3 at 192 kbps, so BUTT should be set to match that, assuming your station&#8217;s source settings permit it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Available codec and bitrate options in BUTT depend on your installed version, so if your station requires a specific sample rate or channel configuration, follow whatever AzuraCast specifies rather than guessing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"1006\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ucartz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/butt-audio-settings.webp\" alt=\"butt audio settings\" class=\"wp-image-3406\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ucartz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/butt-audio-settings.webp 640w, https:\/\/www.ucartz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/butt-audio-settings-191x300.webp 191w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 6: Select Your Audio Input Source<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">BUTT needs to know where your audio is coming from. Depending on your setup, this could be:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A built-in or USB microphone<br>An audio interface<br>A mixer, common in radio studio setups<br>A line input<br>A virtual audio device, for routing computer audio directly<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;re broadcasting from a studio setup, your signal path might look like microphone or mixer, into an audio interface, into your computer, into BUTT, and then out to AzuraCast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Select the correct input device inside BUTT, and before connecting to the server, test it. Speak into your microphone or play some audio and confirm that BUTT&#8217;s input meter is actually moving. A dead meter here means the problem is on your end, not AzuraCast&#8217;s, and it&#8217;s much easier to catch this before you connect than after.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 7: Save Your Server Configuration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Give your server profile a clear, recognizable name inside BUTT, something like &#8220;Binila Radio, AzuraCast.&#8221; This becomes genuinely useful if you ever manage more than one station, since it saves you from guessing which saved profile connects to which server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 8: Connect and Start Broadcasting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Back on BUTT&#8217;s main window, select your saved server configuration and click Connect. If your server details, port, credentials, and mount point are all correct, BUTT should establish an Icecast connection without issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once connected, click to start the broadcast. Your audio now flows from your input source, through BUTT, into AzuraCast&#8217;s Icecast layer, out through your station, and onward to your public stream and listeners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In your AzuraCast dashboard, the station should shift from showing AutoDJ or an offline live state to displaying the live source as active once the connection succeeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Testing the Public Stream<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Open your station&#8217;s public listening URL, or its public page inside AzuraCast, and confirm you can hear the audio you&#8217;re sending through BUTT. Check that current broadcast information is displaying correctly on the public page as well. If everything was configured properly, this should just work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Understanding AutoDJ and Live DJ Mode Together<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of AzuraCast&#8217;s genuinely useful features is that it doesn&#8217;t force you to choose between automated programming and live broadcasting. AutoDJ, powered by Liquidsoap, can run continuously in the background, filling airtime when nobody is connected live. The moment a DJ connects through BUTT, or any other compatible streaming client, AzuraCast can hand control over to that live source, depending on how your station&#8217;s broadcasting settings are configured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This flexibility is a big part of why AzuraCast has become such a popular choice for both hobbyist and semi-professional radio operations. You get uninterrupted 24\/7 coverage from AutoDJ, with the option to go live whenever you want, without needing to touch playlist settings each time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Troubleshooting Common BUTT and AzuraCast Issues<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">BUTT Says the Connection Failed<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Check your server hostname, the Icecast port, your username and password, the mount point, and whether the Icecast service itself is running on the AzuraCast side. Also rule out firewall or network restrictions blocking the connection. By far the most common mistake here is entering the public listening URL instead of the actual Icecast source connection details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Station Shows as Offline Even Though BUTT Says Connected<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If BUTT reports a successful connection but AzuraCast isn&#8217;t showing a live broadcast, verify that you selected the correct station, used the correct mount point, and that your DJ or streamer account is actually enabled on the AzuraCast side. Double check the password as well, and confirm BUTT is genuinely sending audio, not just connected with a silent stream. AzuraCast&#8217;s logs are worth checking here too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Listeners Hear Nothing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Start with BUTT&#8217;s audio meters. If they aren&#8217;t moving, the issue is almost certainly your local audio input, not AzuraCast. Check your microphone, audio interface, mixer, and your operating system&#8217;s input device selection and permissions, along with BUTT&#8217;s own input selection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wrong Mount Point Entered<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A mount point like \/radio.mp3 is not the same thing as the full public URL. Only use the specific value AzuraCast provides for the Icecast source connection, never the complete listener-facing link.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SSL\/TLS Connection Errors<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">BUTT does support SSL\/TLS for Icecast connections, but this only works if the Icecast server is also configured to accept encrypted connections. Enabling SSL\/TLS in BUTT while the server doesn&#8217;t support it will cause the connection to fail. If you&#8217;re unsure whether your setup supports this, check your AzuraCast connection details before enabling encryption manually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final Checklist Before Going Live<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before broadcasting, confirm the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">AzuraCast station is running<br>Icecast broadcasting service is running<br>Streamer or DJ access is enabled on your account<br>BUTT is installed and updated<br>Server type is set to Icecast in BUTT<br>Correct server hostname entered<br>Correct Icecast source port entered<br>Correct DJ username entered<br>Correct password entered<br>Correct mount point entered<br>Audio input device selected<br>BUTT&#8217;s audio meters are moving<br>BUTT successfully connects<br>AzuraCast shows the live source as active<br>Public stream plays correctly when tested<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Connecting BUTT to AzuraCast is a straightforward way to add live broadcasting on top of your existing AutoDJ setup. The core thing to remember throughout this process is that BUTT talks to AzuraCast&#8217;s Icecast source connection, a separate set of credentials and a separate port from the public listening URL your audience uses to tune in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you have the correct server address, source port, DJ username and password, and mount point entered into BUTT, the workflow becomes simple and repeatable: configure AzuraCast, configure BUTT, connect, start broadcasting, and verify the public stream is working. From there, going live is just a matter of opening BUTT and clicking Connect whenever you&#8217;re ready to step in and take over from AutoDJ.If your AzuraCast station is hosted on infrastructure that wasn&#8217;t built with continuous streaming and live source connections in mind, it&#8217;s worth evaluating whether your current server has the resources and stability to handle both AutoDJ and live DJ connections reliably as your station grows. Get started with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ucartz.com\/online-radio-hosting\">Ucartz radio hosting<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">FAQ<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Do I need BUTT running constantly for my station to stay online?<\/strong><br>No. AutoDJ, powered by Liquidsoap, handles continuous playback on its own. BUTT is only needed when you specifically want to broadcast live and take over from automated programming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What&#8217;s the difference between the public stream URL and the Icecast source connection?<\/strong><br>The public stream URL is what listeners use to tune in, and it typically runs over HTTPS. The Icecast source connection is what BUTT uses to send audio to the server, and it uses separate credentials and often a different port entirely. Mixing these up is the most common setup mistake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Why does BUTT show as connected, but AzuraCast doesn&#8217;t display a live source?<\/strong><br>This usually points to an issue with the mount point, a disabled DJ or streamer account, or BUTT connecting but not actually transmitting audio. Checking AzuraCast&#8217;s logs is often the fastest way to identify the specific cause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Can I use BUTT alongside AutoDJ, or do I have to choose one or the other?<\/strong><br>You can use both. AutoDJ can run continuously in the background, and when BUTT connects with a live source, AzuraCast can switch over to that live broadcast automatically, depending on your station&#8217;s configuration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What should I check first if listeners say they hear nothing during a live broadcast?<\/strong><br>Check BUTT&#8217;s audio meters first. If they aren&#8217;t moving, the problem is almost always your local input device, microphone, mixer, or audio interface, rather than anything on AzuraCast&#8217;s end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Is it safe to publish my AzuraCast DJ password or source port in a tutorial?<\/strong><br>No. These are credentials tied to your specific station and should never be shared publicly. Use clear placeholders like YOUR_PASSWORD or YOUR_PORT when writing about your own setup for others to follow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Does my hosting provider affect how well live broadcasting performs?<\/strong><br>Yes. Live streaming adds real-time demand on your server&#8217;s bandwidth and stability. A server that struggles under this load can cause dropped connections or buffering during live segments, which is especially noticeable to listeners tuning in for a live show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you are running an internet radio station with AzuraCast and want to break away from AutoDJ occasionally to broadcast live, from a microphone, a mixer, or a full radio studio setup, BUTT (Broadcast Using This Tool) is one of the simplest and most reliable ways to do it.
