Is it possible in SHOUTcast to have DJs broadcasting to the same SHOUTcast stream from multiple computers? I'm trying to set up a talkshow and the talent happen to be located in different states (part of the reason behind doing the talkshow).

I'm traditionally a web developer and can hosut a SHOUTcast service on a stable machine, and if the talent could some how "login" to that machine and broadcast that would be great.

Thanks,
Conrad

You can only connect ONE encoder at a time to a Shoutcast server. To have multiple DJs/hosts online at once, I believe Skype is the best option. One person captures the Skype conversation and sends/encodes that to the Shoutcast server.

by Skype, I take it you mean Skype or any one of a number of VoIP software solutions ... many of which are far less resource intensive compared to Skype ;)
