Hello everyone I have a couple questions about streaming my radio station. First off, I have a radio station right now. The problem is I am not paying a penny and running it off a 256k up speed internet connection. At 32kbps, I can have 8 people listening... That isn't enough for me. I need to keep this free because I don't have the money to afford a huge, professional server to stream with. My first quetions is, Is it possible or does anyone know of a site that offers a free server or something that I can use to stream my WMA radio station with that has a much better bandwidth than mine? Also, my second question is... I found a site, which I cannot find anymore that let you stream a shoutcast station but by using free webspace that it would upload the live stream to and distribute it to the listeners with the free webspace's bandwidth. I cannot find this site anymore but I didn't know if anyone knew of this site because i wouldn't mind streaming in MP3 at 128kbps Stereo or 64kbps Mono. My preference is WMA because of stereo quality sound at 32kbps that allows dail-up to listen as well. So, if anyone can anser my questions, I would really appreciate it alot. Thank you very much in advance.
I do not know of any free streaming sites out there, but if you do get one setup, you need to stream AT LEAST 96kpbs, preferrably 128kpbs, because anything lower will be poor quality and you won't have many people interested in listening. (32kpbs is like cell-phone quality...no good!)
Yeah I was going to use 128kbps if I got a free SHOUTCast server. But if it was WMA, I'd go to 32kbps, 32khz Stereo because the quality is pretty good to my ears at taht quality and allows dial-up to listen too.
