That sounds like a damn good idea...

Heh, I tried something like this a long time ago called SuperSonic Radio on Live365, but I more or less gave up on it due to lack of interest.
I currently run RPGFan Radio, though it has interest due to a larger potential audience. Online radio sucks a lot of bandwidth though, even at low bitrates. It usually is more cost conservative to go with a provider like Live365 than run your own thing, all dependant on how many people listen of course. If you have a small audience, it'd be feasible to run something off your own computer, though you pretty much kill your bandwidth completely for downloading purposes.
As a game music lover, you may enjoy this. Just something I'm hosting for a few friends at the moment, and hey... what the hell. Enjoy.
Note: I am aware of the glitch at the 4:28 mark... that's not from bad MP3 encoding, it's from a badly mastered CD. Annoying glitch on what is otherwise an awesome song. *sigh*

Im testing the radio station now. You can listen to it by puttin in this address in your media player: http://68.113.4.6:8000
Doesn't work for me using WMP. 🙁
Great idea, though.

I'd like this. I'd be a good way to sample soundtracks.
But it requires some upkeep and bandwidth, of course.

Well, Link is running his stream at 112kbps. That would equal 14 kilobytes a second.
If one person downloads at that speed for 24 hours, that'd be 1.15 gigabytes.
If I figured that correctly.

I don't know what software you're using, but the best streaming solution I've heard is 64Kb MP3Pro. It's a very good compromise of sound quality and bandwidth use. 80K OGG would be the next best solution, but I know OGG streams cause problems with some versions of Winamp.

lol, ya, if it's the best choice I think we can all upgrade to the newest winamp 😉
