Well I did some more testing of streaming audio from my music server and updating my website. I now have broadband 128k and low band 32kb audio streams and will update my website with the links this week some time. Yes you with modems will soon be able to listen to my streamed audio/radio station.
I am also looking to update the website with a list of songs that have played the past 24 hours or some portion of that. I would like a file that does some circular logging. I actually have a few ideas since my website resides on a Linux system. One issue is that my music server is a totally different system and on a Windows platform. Right now I have a method to update my web server about what my music server is currently playing. My web server displays my music servers currently playing songs and provides a link to the music I'm streaming to the internet.
I am also looking into a way to stream to multiple audio/media players so that multiple platforms can listen in on the tunes. I have found a method to listen via Winamp and other media players but will try and automate the process so it will be a click away. I actually found a way to listen in Linux and UNIX but need to automate that for users.
I have so much else going on I rarely have time to work on the music server or web server! I haven't even talked about updating the blog software and adding more functionality there, plus adding another blog for music! Remember I am not on a hosted Blog site I run my own blog server software!
All this is run from my little old computer/audio room, which reminds me that I am also investigating and have found some different ways to have live microphone and other type inputs over the internet in my audio string as well!
I do this for fun and the learning experience of what you must know to do these things technically. This is why I host as much as possible all my servers within the walls of my house and maintain it all
Well we will see how this all goes so much going on and so much to do!!
