Hi Jack, Ross & all... We have been working with V-Trails in refining their solution for Mp3 streaming and will be bearing the fruits of this labor starting this weekend publicly with 5 different "Audiorealm Network" stations for first initial public testing - after final testing we look to release this solution NETWORK wide - making the Audiorealm.com Network effectively the first Network 100% peer Multicast enabled. We successfully tested and refined their solution to work with our current WMA offerings and with the help of Louis our CTO, he helped define the new V-Trials Mp3 solution. Indeed this package works with either Windoze or Unix Icecast and Shoutcast mp3 servers. We are also looking at implementing the solution to support Ogg/Vorbis as WE HOPE everyone will gain more expectance of ogg/vorbis formats. SAM V-2 also coming in a Linux flavor thanks to Kylix and is enabled with the peer Multicast solution for reporting statistics, management and more... So indeed now standard unmodified Icecast or Shoutcast server solutions can function very nicely in a "Multicast" environment - all that it will take is the VT-caster Server component on your streaming servers Network infrastructure and the listener to endure a 1 time install of a small plugin. The listener will then still have the freedom to use ANY Mp3 streaming player/application they choose. We thoroughly tested VT-Caster system now for over 4 months with fantastic results - basically enhancing our Networks resource ability by about 85% and as we tweak it keeps getting better.. We've been asked by V-Trails to allow Slashdot to utilize the system for a Techcast scheduled sometime early next month as well - so I assume they will put our system through it's paces.. <p>Regards, Bryan Payne Spacial*Audio Solutions 1-806-740-4100 - office bryan@audiorealm.com www.audiorealm.com - It's how the "Web Sounds Today!" www.spacialaudio.com - SAM development.. ----- Original Message ----- From: "WWWhatsup" <joly@dti.net> To: <icecast@xiph.org> Sent: Thursday, January 31, 2002 11:55 PM Subject: [icecast] multicast (was streaming) <p>> it could be a bit of a minefield - i seem to remember reading> of the requests for some fairly wide patents a couple of years > back by um, vtrails, on anything that involves browsers > http://groups.yahoo.com/group/isoc-ny/message/20 > > the most effective multicast sevice i've seen is swarmcast - > a slashdot thread on the topic of software distro has > recent words from the author > http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=01/09/29/1647255&mode=thread > and the fruits of his labors are on > http://onionnetworks.com/components.html > > Ross Levis wrote: > > > This may be interesting to some. > > > > I recently discovered AllCast.com which has developed a p2p streaming > > solution.

Yes, After we launch officially the VT-Caster Server appliance with Mp3 support will be available to the public for purchase - I am not yet aware of what the pricing structure will be as of yet? Audiorealm/Spacial*Audio will be a reseller however.
