[SOLVED] Icecast server.

ctkroeker · 04-29-2006, 05:53 PM

I would like to set up a Icecast server here at the local radio station to stream audio over the internet to friends and such. My problem is that I don't have the greatest bandwidth 256Kbps connection during the day and double that at night. Let's say I have at the very least 10 people listening at one time at 24Kbps, there goes most of my upload bandwidth... Can I find someplace that serves Icecast for free or cheap?

Uses shoutcast, might not be suitable though, as it looks like you must reserve your timeslot well in advance.

I was thinking more in the direction of 24 hours, or at least during the day... This doesn't really fit the bill...

Well, I'm still looking and liking the offerings of http://www.mediacast1.com/icecast2.php but am open to other suggestions and reviews of that site and others...
