It obviously goes without saying, a little extra work goes a long way. The ACC stream quality is a lot better than the MP3 stream. But that's at low quality. I'm just gonna take it it's cheap to run an AAC stream rather than pay a lot more for a high quality MP3 Stream.
I'm looking at LoudCity now, they look really good. Licensing and royalties are taken care of? Now that's a good host. The only thing is this:

AAC+ and Ogg is possible, but our current station directory has very poor support for it. Currently AAC+ and Ogg are not natively supported by embedded players. We believe Internet radio should accessible in as few clicks as possible and asking someone to install additional players and plug-ins is one more reason for them not to tune in.

That and the Digital Millennium Copyright Act has some strict rules as well. But since it would apply to any host, it would be the same anywhere I went.

Well, I'd like to thank you and Nick for all your help, I think I'll just decide on a stream quality later on when I make my purchase. If it's anytime soon and it works out good I'll post a link and you can check out, even though you've both probably listened to hundreds of different stations
