Nitro Posted March 11, 2003 Share Posted March 11, 2003 Radio Free Saturn is up! Randomly pulling tracks from my 80+ gigs of MP3's, it's the biggest mix of everything on the planet! Point your Winamp (or WMP... Winamp gives better quality) to http://radiofreesaturn.mine.nu:8000 to tune in! Running 24/7 (assuming neither of my boxes goes down). Easy Instructions! 1) Open Winamp. 2) Hit CTRL + L 3) Type http://radiofreesaturn.mine.nu:8000 in the box and hit OK. 4) Wait for it to buffer, kick back, and enjoy the good tunes! Reqest shows will be done from time to time, but by no means on a schedule... And feel free to "call in" (email me) and leave a (preferably short) voice message in MP3 of WAV format! I'll put it on the air, or maybe even into a commercial! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitro Posted March 12, 2003 Author Share Posted March 12, 2003 I'm running this out of my bedroom, Niner... I'll be flying solo 99.9% of the time. Hell, the thing (hopefully) runs unattended for 9 hours of the day while I'm in classes. Also, I'm killing it when I play games. Learned the hard way tonight that CS and SHOUTcast don't mix. I'm on cable, and savagly capped cable at that (to the tune of 22kb/s upload speeds). That's like putting two big rigs side by side on a one-lane-one-way road. So I anticipate about 10% downtime... To occur at random times on random days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue Nine Posted March 12, 2003 Share Posted March 12, 2003 I know. But it'd be cool if you had guest DJs, like the missus-to-be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edlib Posted March 12, 2003 Share Posted March 12, 2003 Ew. Why? To drive up the ratings, of course! Silly. Name me one radio station in the country that plays 24-hour, commercial free yodeling. YOU CAN'T! Can you?!? There's a HUGE demographic there, just waiting to be tapped, with no outlet to turn to,.. AND THEY VOTE WITH THIER WALLETS!!! Just think of the all the disenfranchised lederhosen and alpenhorn set out there with nowhere to turn to sooth thier yodelin' jones. Besides, it would piss the rest of you off, that's why. I wouldn't listen to it, but the thought of the rest of you tuning in to hear yodeling and thinking "What the hell is this crap?!? I knew Nitro was strange, but..." would give me a joy sublime. <-- Yeah, kinda like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitro Posted March 12, 2003 Author Share Posted March 12, 2003 Ed, that post just made all the crap I went through tweaking the server for 3 hours tonight worth it. Also, two boxes have to stay up for this to run... Since the server's HD is only 10 gigs, it only runs all the applications. The MP3's are all stored on the 80GB and 15GB drives in my main box. The server goes down and you just straight won't be able to connect. The MP3 box goes down and you'll either get dead air or the same 3 seconds of whatever track it was playing over and over until I notice something's wrong. But it's fun, so it's worth it.

edlib Posted March 12, 2003 Share Posted March 12, 2003 Originally posted by Nitro Ed, that post just made all the crap I went through tweaking the server for 3 hours tonight worth it. Glad to be of help! For a second there while typing that I thought I could hear Wally outside my window whispering in my ear. By the way, I haven't reinstalled WinAmp on this PC since I made the move to XP, but using RealOne Player to stream is really much better in quality than WMP. You might want to make a note of that.

Jabba The Hunt Posted March 12, 2003 Share Posted March 12, 2003 u couldnt turn the quality down a little could u, my 128 cable just wont cut it at 96KBPS (yeah i know it should be able to but the proxy slows everything down)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitro Posted March 13, 2003 Author Share Posted March 13, 2003 It's 98 kilobits per second, Jabbs... Works out to about 12 kilobytes per second. Roughly twice the speed of normal dial-up. If your cable can't download at 12 kB/s, you should probably give your ISP a call... Or cancel your porn downloads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabba The Hunt Posted March 13, 2003 Share Posted March 13, 2003 well its kinda border line, offically I can get 16KB/s but unoffically thats between 10-14. Doesnt matter i was only joking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitro Posted March 13, 2003 Author Share Posted March 13, 2003 What kind of cable ISP gives you 16kB/s download!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitro Posted March 14, 2003 Author Share Posted March 14, 2003 Ok, I was having trouble with more than 10 people connected, so I lowered the quality from 96kbps stereo to 48kbps mono. Sample rate's still at 44,100Hz, though... Streaming at 22KHz sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jabba The Hunt Posted March 14, 2003 Share Posted March 14, 2003 16KB/s is cause its cable on a budget, for an extra £10 a month i could get 64KB/s but my dad wont let me pay for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
