streaming live radio

[binaryknight]

hi could do with some help regarding getting this up and running.

freind is taking part in a local radio station trial for 3 weeks with the intention of making it a full time station.

they would like to broadcast over the net as well.

i have looked at shoutcast and live365 however would rather try a free alternative for testing / the trial 3 week period.

i grabbed peercast as it looked promising and set it up however the yellowpages part of it seems to be defunct?

i have access to my own webspace is there any method of using a ftp connection to stream to my site and from there to the listeners?

The only way of doing it from your website if it's a dedicated server you're running with full shell access.

Your alternatives are to run it from your local connection (which if its a normal consumer connection would only be able to sustain one or two listeners) or use a paying service.

Streaming when you have to pay for bandwidth will cost money there's no way around that unfortunatly.
