Hi all!

Does anyone have any experience with shoutcasting their
music / dj-ing?

I'm trying to figure out how I can shoutcast my muic into
cyberspace.

It worked thru netmeeting already.

I've set up streaming servers before. I've used icecast,
peercast, and shoutcast (mostly on Unix systems). What do
you need to know?

I need to know how I can use my 64kbit/s bandwith to get my
music to a server on internet, which will stream it fo me.
I've seen the softwaer at shoutcast.com.

Are there any alternatives?

You've got a pretty small pipe. Streaming can take up a lot
of bandwidth quick. peercast is interesting because
other computers can help share the load if your stream
becomes popular.

live365 is a relatively cheap way to stream. They
provide all the bandwidth, you upload mp3s to them or
provide a feed from your own computer that they mirror to
the rest of the world.

With that sort of bandwidth it's really not realistic to do
the streaming yourself, so I'd take a look at Peercast -
unless you are talking about a really low quality stream and
maybe a dozen simultaneous listeners. Then shoutcast would
probably do the trick.

Shoutcast is a little easier to set up and use, but that's
just because it's been around a lot longer than peercast.
