It looks likely that as online radio is heavily legislated (and the fees go through the roof) that more P2PRadio (P2P is Peer to Peer for those who were wondering) will become increasinly popular as they are difficult to trace as every listener effectively becomes a broadcaster. Quick instructions for becoming a broadcaster: 1. Download PeerCast from [url=http://www.peercast.org]Peercast[/url] 2. Download WinAmp 2 if you don't have it from [url=http://classic.winamp.com]classic.winamp.com[/url] - PeerCast won't work with WinAmp3. 3. Grab OddCast [url=http://www.oddsock.org/tools/dsp_oddcast/]OddSock: OddCast[/url] - this is what you will use for streaming. 4. Follow the instructions from [url=http://www.peercastwiki.com/OddCastGuide]The PeerCast/OddSock Windows Broadcasting Guide[/url] - this will walk you through all the steps. The important thing to do is use Ogg Vorbis - this doesn't affect the medium the music is played in just the encoding of the stream (so you can still use your MP3s). This is the technique that we have found gives the best results. And enjoy. ------------------------- Relevant threads: [url=http://www.ozoneasylum.com/Archives/Archive-000002/HTML/20021002-1-005041.html]Asylum Radio - TNG[/url] ------------------------- Relevant links: [b]Broadcasting[/b] [url=http://www.peercast.org]Peercast[/url] - online 'pirate radio'.
