Radio Broadcasting

[Ravenous]

OK If anyone knows any free software that I can get (or other software which I can *cough* aqquire easily..) For broadcasting my own radio show over the internet, Music + Speech required.
Thanks everyone, I have tried Jetcast but Didn't understand so if anyone is fluent with that could they help me with it. Thanks again

do u even have the broadband capabilities?

[Ravenous]

Bleh probably not? I got 2MB how many people could I broadcast to for that?

[<-Dying_to_Live->]

well thats ur download speed, ur upload speed is only a fraction of that. if u wanted to broadcast music quality to people ud need a t1 line definately. a lot of internet streams are 96 kbs but u cant really get that upload with cable

[Ravenous]

Ahh Ok So basically I would be able to broadcast to about 5 people at a time or something stupid like that?

[<-Dying_to_Live->]

there would definately be a limit yes

[<-Dying_to_Live->]

it all depends, i get 3.5 mb down but only around 35-40 kilobytes up. which is not sufficient for even 1 listener lol

[<-Dying_to_Live->]

no. kiloBITS is used for measuring internet speed, but its a useless value and everything else is measured in bytes. music sounds like complete shit anything below 96 kilobytes, and my and your upload only go around 35-40 kbs. the highest teamspeak speex codec of 29.2 or whichever sounds like complete SHIT for music, like i said 96 or else

i would also like to make my own radio station over the net
something like 3D Buzz net

i have comcast cable internet but dont know anyting about my dell desktop

where do i start if i want to broadcast a radio show over the net as well

ive got like 50 songs, a mic, fast internet, good speaker system and the everyday CD-ROM drive (no DVD-ROM drive)

[<-Dying_to_Live->]

when i get a new ISP ill have to set one up and see how many people can use it, itll be 3mb up and 15mb down

and how will u be affording a t1?

[<-Dying_to_Live->]
