Hi thanx for even reading this I really like icecast and i use it very happily. Now i'm planning to co-locate a server to play my music but i'm kinda wondering what kind of specs(processor, memory etc) i need for let's say 3000 listeners(32kbit, stereo) at the same time. I see the program is not that cpu intensive but can't figure it out myself.

In any case, I doubt this will be very problematic for any fairly recent computer with a good PCI network card. You're likely to run out of bandwidth prior to cpu cycles. If you don't re-encode on the server itself, some K6-3/400 with 128MB RAM or so might provide enough overhead. <p>Moritz --- >8 ---- List archives: http://www.xiph.org/archives/ icecast project homepage: http://www.icecast.org/ To unsubscribe from this list, send a message to 'icecast-request@xiph.org' containing only the word 'unsubscribe' in the body.

As for power - any decently specced PC should be able to manage this load these days.

Ram requirements are fairly low too (I wouldn't worry about that, basically).
