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.. :(

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.

IBOC HD-Radio supports a type of R[b]DS and the related
websites of the the HD-Radio Stations usually have the
needed Information; plus many now have the Buy-It-Now
type of Inter-Active User option.

N.B. Icecast is currently the preferred, and open source, solution.

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.

So consider doing multicast; consider establishing a tunneled private
mcast backbone if necessary.

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.

A rather limited viewpoint IMHO; large numbers of icecast streams are of
original source and live material and not 'commercial airplay' as your
statement implies.

icecast is perfectly legal.

What the user does with it, however, may not be. If I chose to use icecast
to stream Creative Commons content, there is no law being broken at all.

Understood, but you obviously know what was meant by my post.

Your post was ambiguous at best. I wanted to make it clear - to anyone else
that was reading it - that there is nothing illegal about icecast. There's
enough misinformation going around about the legality of open-source software
as it is.

Cheers,

Paul
