For those that aren't familiar with Shoutcast, it's a way to turn your PC into a radio station. You pump digital audio out on a certain URL, and people with Shoutcast clients can listen to your audio stream. That's what it was a couple of years ago at least - I'm not sure if it's evolved into more than that now. Check our the discussion thread if you're interested, or <a href="http://www.dmitrymironov.com/install.zip">jump right to the application.</a>

This is one of my favorite PPC programs. Just tested it on my ipaq with wifi card and streams like a dream. If there weren't a Serial Sniper in my hometown this week, I would be sitting on my deck right now streaming Internet radio!

Well, ShoutCast is great, I've been waiting for it for a long time! Now, if we could just get a PPC SSH client that's free . . . With one of those new ipaq 5000s (or the e740, for that matter) I could be walking around school messing with my box at home via 802.11b! Cool beans.

Okay, how am I supposed to install this thing? I got the .zip but I can't get it to install from my PC or my PPC. Help please!

Thanks in advance,
Brian

Sounds really cool, man I can't wait to get a wireless network set up and a wireless pocket pc. I hope shortly. *drool*.

In other news, I can't stand the saying "cool beans". :? :wink:

To bad if the RIAA has its way it will price gouge shoutcast into extinction. One of my favorite online radio stations is looking at a $15,000+ bill per year to stay online. The music they provide is "unique" in that its predominantly based on Japanese Anime soundtracks. (Yes I listen to "normal" music as well but there is such a thing as variety.)
