Laura, I will indeed have a ChucK demonstration at the festival. You can check it out anytime. Looking forward to hearing your music on the stream.

Here's a caveat: I expected when you add an encoder Edcast would have to come up with your LAME encoder or what have you. Instead it shows an encoder that was already there, so I figured something was wrong.

In fact you doubleclick on it and select the encoder that you want in the configuration screen that opens next.

I should have had more confidence in the instructions.

I'd love to try to join at some point. I use Gentoo for my computer DAW, so I have a choice among shoutcast, icecast and ninjam (none of which I've installed yet, but will).

Question: is 128kbps upload sufficient? I have ADSL, 192 down, 128 up (WHY they don't make it all one speed is beyond me. Stupid marketing and greed, I suppose, where they force you to upgrade if you want something reasonable).

Funny though, ADSL is much faster here, a lot of people (I'm a bit less lucky) get > 20 Mbps one way and > 4 Mbps the other ... still cable is offering 50 Mbps in some parts of the country ... I'd want fiber ... I'd have some good use for fiber ... ah well.

Monopoly was never really a game for me either.

Maybe it's not ADSL. I thought it was. But anyway, I think I'm wrong about the speed. Verizon's slowest DSL connection is 1mbps/386kbps. I may have the 3/786 service.

Is 1/386 sufficient to stream?

I'd say try it out. I'm guessing that the stream software is easy enough to download and install, and there is a fair chance that you could log into the chat and find some helpful soul that could try to listen to the stream. I don't know the times when the chat is most active - maybe make it coincide with a e-m show?

Maybe I will just try it out.

I just used http://www.speedtest.net/ and my connection is the first one I mentioned, 1 down, .5 mbps up. There's an upgrade I can get (actually, two, but the second one has the same upload speed, so I'm not going to bother) to nearly double my up speed for what I think is a reasonable price (reasonable for capitalism, anyway Razz

).
