I’ve started broadcasting my MP3’s again. I got tired of internet stations breaking up and skipping. I had reasonable success broadcasting from home in the past and decided to set it up again. I did it a little different this time though. Now that I have the iBook I have all my MP3s on there, because I really like iTunes. Sadly though iTunes won’t broadcast (at least I haven’t found a way to).

What I’ve done is set up a shoutcast server on the FreeBSD 4.3 webserver/router and I’m using Audion from the iBook to stream to that. Amazingly I’m able to stream at 96kbps with little to now skipping. The only problem that’s occurred is Audion crashing occasionaly.

I’m hoping to get some sort of web interface/request system in place, but unless I find one I probably will never have the chance to program one.
