Not bad. Has lots of features for the price. But it doesn't have a
processor, it doesn't do multiple streams simultaneously, and several
other features that SAM2 Broadcaster does have, and that I need for the
setup.

May all be a moot point soon, if the per-play rates go up as much as the
industry wants them to..


Is this equal??

comparison between icecast and shoutcast:

Clients like Shoutcast and Icecast have at least two faults:

1) They count on your own internet connection as you are the server. These
days, very few connections have diddly for upload speeds. Live365 has their
own servers, so you only need to have one constant stream for all your
listeners.

2) They are not technically legal, as they pay no royalties. This is then
left up to the individual netcasters, most of whom pay no royalties at all.


They do a better job of selling music than the 'Dwardo radio. At least
they tell you the name of the artist while the song is playing.
