Hardware Requirements to run a shoutcast server

[XebozZ]

Does anybody know what are the hardware requirements to run a Shoutcast Server. The guides i've read didn't contain any infos on this.

In a thread i read Shoutcast needs about 1.5 MB per DNAS instance and 14 KB per listener, is that information correct?

Does that mean i could easily host more than 1000 listeners on my P3/1000 with 256 ram?

And what about the CPU requirements? How much CPU does it use per listener?


And finally... whats the best tool to create a playlist my server shall play when there is no live stream. Is there a tool which allows you to organize the playlist (e.g.: only plays rock genre titles from 9:00 to 10:00, etc.)?


Thanks in advance, XebozZ
