John, I had a look at the radio pages. Looks good. Is there any particular reason you chose Shoutcast over Icecast? Are you using PD solely for the mp3cast~? Or is it doing more than that? Are you using the GUI's for all of these (jack, PD, jack-rack, xmms)?
From what I understand, ffserver is used for the flash version, right? I haven't really heard much about flash stuff, I personally dislike flash and I don't even have in installed. -Ilias John Harrison wrote: > Not sure how much this adds to the conversation but... we have been > using mp3cast~ to stream our radio station to 2 shoutcast servers for > a few years now.
