Awesome plan, this. Have you tried out Skype, the Net telephony app? I've never tried music over it - it's definitely better audio quality than a regular phone call, though I imagine it's optimized for voice - but the video chat function seems to work well. And it's free for computer-to-computer calls. It could be used in conjunction with Ninjam or a Shoutcast server, if the audio quality was lacking. Will there be any streaming audio or video from this year's fest?
