streaming directly from your own machine will be ok, if the line you are on has the bandwidth to serve all the listeners you might have, but, it's been my experience that the bandwidth is never enough... I don't know if you've seen my gig announcements here, but the band I am in plays about once a month on the internet... as well, I've been involved in streaming audio since about '97 and I'd be glad to talk about the details with you offlist.. :) peace -cpr >-- Original Message -- >Date: Mon, 12 Jul 2004 15:38:23 -0400 >From: "Kevin Goldsmith" <kevin-ml@unitcircle.com> >Reply-To: <kevin-ml@unitcircle.com> >To: "Looper's Delight Mailing List (E-mail)" ><Loopers-Delight@loopers-delight.com> >Subject: Re: streaming live shows > > >You can stream directly from a Windows machine using the free Windows >Media >encoder software.
