Icecast - Aug 2004 - Shout???

Hello,

we've been testing Icecast2 with a jukebox like application, and I am
wondering how recording companies view these streams.
We already have Realserver in place, which is fine by them except for
the realtime audio on demand, which we stripped on their demand.
Is Icecast/ogg the same to them, or will they complain again?

Hello,

Sorry but in the mails I have read I did not see any "shout" program 
comments. I have configured icecast and I am using "shout" to encode
MP3s.
Is the performance of shout bad or others are better then "shout"?

I did not encounter any problems yet.

Thank you for any comment.

Bandwidth is indeed the biggest resources.  We used dual CPU p3-600's at
icast.  We had 4 machines and we built it to easily handle 12,000
listeners over 500 streams.  Only 3 were active at any one time ( the
4th was failover ).  CPU load wasn't an issue at all.

The shout boxes had quite complex perl scripts doing all kinds of stuff,
and there we need the power, but the dual p3-600s were still enough to
pull the weight there.
