This is running direct off my DSL line, not one of the dedicated stream server services.

Excellent.
I'm playing with Icecast2 and the SamBroadcaster online radio studio software. I used a very early version about 4 years ago for a similar experiment and it is pretty damned good now.
Cool. Does the streaming software just look at your mp3 collection and mix them and stream them?
Icecast is a streaming server that you configure with an xml file (pretty well commented and decent help file)
Woah, great stuff. I'll have a mess with that, thanks.
It's good fun. Sam

I think I tuned in to Faget by Korn?? There was a silence a couple of times and then it stopped completely. But then I'm on poverty 512.
I noticed it does drop in and out when new people connect and drop off. I think 1meg appears to be a workable minimum listening speed, even though it is streaming up on a 400k upstream.
