Authentication and Streaming
 

Hello,

1) How can I add authentication (username/password) without a hassle?
2) I have a friend set up as a server and I have the plugin installed on my computer. Now won't it still be using up bandwidth to get the music from my computer to the server to the receipients? Would I upload my music to my friends computer?


Thanks,

Pickle Juice.

A: Yes, you will consume upload bandwidth and your freind will consume download bandwidth.

Q: Would I upload my music to my friends computer?
A: Only if you want to support on-demand streaming
