I don't know what you all think about a shoutcast server, but I set one up a
couple years ago on my linux box and it streamed 128kbps fine over insight
or sbc/yahoo dsl -- i can't remember which one. It's free and you can lock
it down. Just thought I'd through that one out there. It's been a while, so
I don't know what it's like now.

I want to set up a web based music streaming app so I can listen to my music from anywhere. I don't want to get myself into trouble by sharing with everyone, just a way for me to listen to my music collection when I'm away from my computer. I have two questions:

I could also install it on my shared hosting account. This would be faster and more reliable, but it would take a really, really, really
long time to upload my music here, plus I worry about somebody hacking open my music directories and leaving them open to the public. <br><br>Any suggestions?<br><br>Thanks,<br><span class="sg"><br>Ben<br></span><span class="ad">
