Re: How does I tunes convert tracks?
iTunes supports MP3 directly so no conversion is necessary.

Did you install the lite or standard version of Winamp? I don't know if that makes a difference or not. Did you make sure that all of the file type support was installed when you installed Winamp? I'm also pretty sure that WMP supports fast forwarding and rewinding through the menus, hot keys or using the slide bar on the interface. I don't typically use WMP though, so I can't be sure.

how to adjust buffering
I was listening to a stream of one of the NHL hockey games the other night and it was clear that the stream was buffering. The stream would play and then cut off of a couple of seconds and then play again for a little while and then cut off, etc. I assume this is a problem with the size of the buffer. I'm using an xp netbook with 1 gig memory and the 1.6 atm processor. How would I adjust the size of the buffer to make the stream play more smoothly? Thanks.

Over the years I've met, or been in correspondence with, people who love the idea of getting into Internet radio as a broadcaster, but who really don't know where or how to get started. In the short and very successful period Mushroom FM has been around, we've been approached by a number of people who would make fantastic team members, if they could unravel the technical mysteries of how to make Internet radio magic. In talking about this issue with Brian Hartgen, who is Operations Manager at Mushroom FM, we decided to create an audio tutorial that we could give to people who approached us about being part of the team, but didn't know where to start. And so the work began, with us dividing the work roughly in half for us to complete outside of our day job time. Now that the project is near completion, we realise that what we have created is a resource for which there has been considerable demand for some years within the blind community. So we have decided to donate this work, and make the tutorial available for free to anyone who wants to know a bit about Internet broadcasting. We hope many people will benefit from it, and that if you, like us, get bitten by the Internet radio bug, you'll approach Mushroom FM, the people taking voluntary Internet broadcasting to the next level with our innovations, quality output, and high standards. With over three hours of audio content, The Mushroom FM Fun Guys Guide to Internet Broadcasting will be released soon as a DAISY audio book, able to be played with software DAISY players, as well as portable devices capable of DAISY playback. This will make it easy for you to listen on whatever player suits you, while you follow along on your PC. Topics covered include: A detailed look at StationPlaylist Studio that shows how to set up and run this software in an Internet broadcast situation. You'll learn about the benefits of using a mixer, how to cope with requests, how to use cart machines and more. A look at options for getting your broadcast to the Internet, including using facilities within StationPlaylist Studio, using free Winamp tools, or the optional StationPlaylist Streamer. Using the Sam Encoders with soon to be released JAWS scripts to optimise your streaming experience. A session where you hear all the tools we've discussed in action as an actual radio show goes to air.
