Question to SL DJs. From a returning SL DJ.

[Mortus Allen]

So, I am looking to spin up some decks in Second Life again. I just have a few simple questions. What stream hosts are you using? And why? I am in the market for a stream and doing a search brought up a few familiar name, but having been gone for so long from the scene I would really like others opinions.

I use listen2myradio. It's free to sign up and free to use. Not much hassle to really use. You get:

ShoutcastV1/V2 and IceCast

Up to 10,000 listeners (lol, no DJ on SL will ever reach that number but the challenge is there)

Good quality (I stream 192kbps for example)

Easy to utilize control panel

Just all around not a problem.

powerstream. years of solid unglitching reliability and rent-a-stream inworld. However. Last year I rented a 24/7 auto dj on the internet for 3 us bucks per month. Its 100 listeners, 192kbps, 5 GB music storage. And if I want to go live on it and interupt the auto dj I can. And do. google epichosts or auto dj packages for that newer option.

I use Torontocast. Plans start at $9 a month and it is SOCAN compliant (royalty + licensing).
