Hi Goeff, Thanks for your precisions. You wrote: "Internet connections are also expressed in bits, or kilobits, not Kilobytes"; then I guess a connection of 1Mb is also 1 megaBITS and NOT megaBYTES. There is something I don't understand; how are affording small radios that have up to 1000 concurrent listeners a 128Mb connection? Is there any magical solution I am not aware of?

Hi everybody, I have a theoretical question here. A 128K stream is a 128 KiloBITS (NOT kiloBYTES) per second stream; am I right? Is a 512k internet connection a 512 kiloBITS or 512 kiloBYTES connection? 128 KiloBITS = 16 KiloBYTES (8 bits = 1 byte). I am wondering if a 512k connection (upload and download) could THEORITICALLY handle 4 (512/128) or 32 (512/16) 128k streams? I am confused

Right. > Is a 512k internet connection a 512 kiloBITS or 512 kiloBYTES > connection? Internet connections are also expressed in bits, or kilobits, not kilobytes. In this sense, calling it a 512k connection is actually wrong, as this implies kilobytes, not kilobits.

Hi Oddsock, Like Clement, I am sure Nullsoft is still "offering" AOL's bandwidth since I think Nullsoft is not part of AOL anymore. About the new broadcasting methods, is the multicast technology already available? I have heard only few providers are equipped with multicast enabled routers. What about p2p streaming, is it really reliable? When I see Peercast's statistics, only

Hi, Our webradio (Let's Go Zik - http://www.letsgozik.com) works with donation and partenship. I think it's the only way to keep a webradio alive for the moment... We are making our radio in a associative way... It's quite hard to "find" listeners. Currently we are nearly broadcasting for 60 simultaneous listeners (and approx. 5000 differents listeners per months)...

Hi Icecast users! I have a Debian box running with Icecast 1.3.11, installed from package icecast-server 1:1.3.11-4.3 from the unstable tree. It's purpose is to relay a bunch of stations using the alias functionality. It all works like a charm except the title information. When relaying stations like Groove Salad from soma.fm WinAMP doesn't show the title info. In my icecast.conf

Hi, we have set up a small project in a school the following way: SITE_A(4 port analog to ip g729)------ADSL_ISP1-------ISP2--------Asterisk-----PSTN Site A has 1 Megabit of bandwith (up 512kilobit down 1 megabit) The asterisk box gets internet service via a wireless antenna. 1 Mbit of up/down bandwith Comments: So far, this means that I will need licenses for the 729. asterisk only supports 20ms

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, ~ I have just installed Ice cast and I really like it. I want to stream a radio station which expects 6000 concurrent listener.

Hi Everyone, Has anyone come across problems listening back to Mp3 streams using VLC? The reason I ask is that we [ResonanceFM] stream at 128K and at 24K (using two different Icecast instances). All players (Zinf, Winamp, Media Player etc) can play both streams bar VLC which seems to exhibt a skipping (i.e like the sound of a CD) problem when playing the 24K stream. Incidently it plays the 128

I cannot remember if this has already been discussed or not, and I'm a bit worried I'm throwing off an endless debate. If it's already settled, no need to discuss it further. TOPIC #1: Shouldn't R use KB, MB and GB when reporting on sizes kilobytes, megabytes and gigabytes? More specifically, format() for object_size objects (returned by object.size()) uses Kb, Mb and Gb, which

Hi, I have recently installed an Icecast 2.3.1 on a couple of dual Xeon CPU x64 server. The server is configured with chroot & changeowner. In order to have an idea of a server's capabilities, used the curl-based script given in http://www.icecast.org/loadtest1.php. I have around 3.5k connections from one server to the other one, on an unique 170Kbps MP3 mountpoint, totalizing 720 Mbit/s

Hi, there. While waiting for the encoder RC1, I will report some minor problems I experienced with Peter's Winamp decoder. First, I am using Nullsoft Vorbis Decoder v.1.11a with Winamp v.2.76 on Windows 98 SE. 1. When the buttons of Playlist Editor are extended, the part extended in playlist screen seems to be flickering when an Ogg file is being played. 2. I check the option of

I've tried getting this running but mpg123 won't spawn. It spawns fine for the files but if I try streaming she doesn't work. I've tried with just about every stream at somafm.com w/o success. I can play them locally though. When I try to play them from the server from the command line I get: # mpg123 -s --mono -r 8000 -b 2048 http://160.79.128.40:8052 High Performance MPEG
