Jay - I looked at your previous beta, and I was quite impressed. The
problem is, I'm an idiot when it comes to setting up remote audio
streaming. Is there any simplified guide you could point out that
would get me started -- preferably something that doesn't involve
going through a 're-distribution' server, but just direct pc to pc?
Thanks! [please respond via this group]

To set up a SHOUTcast server you need to download and install 3 files.
1) Winamp music (Basic) player Bundle:

2) Download the SHOUTcast DSP Plug-In for Winamp 5.x.

3) Shoutcast server.

The shoutcast server page tells more about installing and configuring.
It's really easy to set-up and configure...
Jay




I looked at shoutcast, but doesn't that require using their service? Or
am I misunderstanding it?

I'd really like to setup just direct pc-pc access [I'm not sure I'd even
ever use it outside my home network -- just pc to pc].

Thanks!
