At this rate, maybe PC people will get software as easy to use as Nicecast one day.

Side-note: Since moving Windows off a PC and running it on a Mac, it hasn't crashed once and neither has SL. This has been over 2-3 weeks!

Good Q dt.

Basically I have a very high workload with some of the gigs I do, esp more recently doing collaborative ninjams while running visuals as well.

I only need my streaming app to do a couple of things - stream and record.
A bonus is to tell me the stats in realtime so I can track how many logged in and monitor for breaks in the stream, but I now use NetMeter to do the latter and I can have a firefox window open logged into my shoutcast admin to tell me the current logins - and I can also download the stats later anyway.

So I want a very simple 1 click app to control streaming and recording.

To answer your q:
+ simple
+ fairly lightweight
+ flexible enough on streaming and recording formats
+ responsive developer
+ opensource xplatform

- record "on stream connection" setup a little non-intuitive (giving developer feedback now) - manual record aok though.
- no stats graph - can do without but would nice to have a la simplecast

Apart from that is does exactly what I need for this function in my live performance workflow. Other people may need more;-)

I found this app very straightforward to use. The big benefit for me over the free version of Simplecast is the ability to name streams. That's really useful if you've got several set up.

Yeah, I'm already on this program! lovin it. It's a little "sharewarey" meaning I'm afraid there's glitches occurring... but it's not... it just looks weird, but it's workin good.

Yeah, this is defintiely a two thumbs up for me. I've never liked SAM, shoutcast has always been fine with me, because I believe shoutcast set up servers and the program shoutcast work great together.

Komuso, lemme ask ya about this program.. cause I can't seem to find it.... how do you set and change what sounds the program will stream:
All soundcard? soundcard minus mic? mic only? skype and music?
there's no way to change those type of settings is there?
Cause right now... I'm able to stream external stuff (turntable/mixer/mic)..... but while that is happening, it wont stream any computer sounds (basically like shoutcast) .... but I want the 'stream everything' option on.

As far as I can see, the only option is to change the selection from available options in the Audio Device drop down box on the Main tab. I presume the rest is down to the audio routing on your soundcards' mixer?

yeah, it isn't my soundcard mixer... ...and yeah, it looks like that drop down menu are the options.

... this may be a me only thing then.... I can't seem to get ALL SOUND to stream out.... external equipment + computer sounds
