All the statements I've read so far only mention "Winamp". Shoutcast has always been a separate project and from what I remember AOL actually makes a profit by stream hosting and licensing, as opposed to the free-as-in-beer Winamp software. That's one of the risks of a closed source software model, you might be left with nothing if one component shuts down. In the open source context you can still take the sources and set up your own directory server, streaming server, etc. Cheers Thomas
that's not 100% accurate. no official message regarding shoutcast was released. Winamp is going to be abandoned, but i find it hard to believe they are going to pull the plug on shoutcast as well, shoutcast is doing rather good actually. www.kurthanson.com/news/winamp-and-shoutcast-likely-expire The only viable alternative is Icecast and dir.xiph.org which could grow fast after December 20 and become the standard for internet radio in the future :-) _______________________________________________ Icecast mailing list Icecast at xiph.org http://lists.xiph.org/mailman/listinfo/icecast -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
