Q: Automatic Switch Between Live in MP3 Modes?

mweiss · 4th February 2003, 03:02

While that's possible, I still have to utilize some form of automation for switching. Now I could do that easily enough, but now I am contending with having to use two computers now instead of one, since I would need to have a PC with, say, Raduga running on it, to serve the music and the other PC to Shoutcast it from the analog input. A simple timer and a relay would switch inputs. But this is getting away from my goal, which is simplicity and low cost of operation (this whole operation is happening on a Pentium 200MMX machine with a bunch of scrapped 9GB HDs). There is not much resource left to run much of anything in the background, with two stream encoders going at once. Fully-utilized.
