I got a question about setting up a streaming server (practical part, not the legal side). It should be able to stream some content continuously to whoever connects. It's for a non-profit org so cost is a big issue. I took a quick look at icecast and MuSE to stream mp3 files and while it works MuSE doesn't seem to be to reliable, so I need something that works a bit better. ices worked better but only with .ogg. Tried to get .ogg to play in my M$ win system and hit issues all the way. Another part is bandwidth. He doesn't expect a huge listener group but a standard 800KB upstream will start to choke at 10 listeners so that would be a problem. (my WAG is that it should be able to handle maybe 20-30 at peak, at least for a start) Internet streaming sites seems to cost lots of $$$ and you can't limit the number of listeners so if 1000 people suddenly jumps on you go bankrupt when the bill comes. I was looking for colocation but that starts at a fixed $100/month I think that he could survive fine with a ADSL feed home if it was reversed (5MBit up) but didn't find that offered anywhere. Is it anyone that have some experience in this area? 1: What sw to use, everything between the mic/cd and the listener 2: how to manage bandwidth >800Kbit upstream -- ------------------------------------------------------------------- Techwiz, Peter Sjoberg PGP key (12F506C8) on keyserver & homepage Key fingerprint = 3DC2 CEBA 1590 B41A 3780 955A DB42 02BB 12F5 06C8 mailto:peters AT techwiz.ca http://www.techwiz.ca/~peters
